Have an upcoming unexpected surgery
I did reach out to my student advisor and having a meeting with them tomorrow, but just wanted to see if someone else experienced this or knows how something like this typically plays out.
Yesterday, I found out I have to get surgery on my left distal femur. This was completely unexpected and after getting details of the surgery, I'm worried about finishing this semester.
According to the surgeon, for the first 3-4 weeks I would be non-weight bearing on my left leg which means I can't put any weight on it so I wouldn't be able to walk without crutches until then. After 4 weeks they will let me know if I can continue with 1 cane/crutch. Ideally, after 6 weeks I should be able to resume some normal activities.
The plan right now is to get surgery sometime in October(not sure the date), but for classes like IPC144 this is when the midterm would be. I'm doing a lot of self learning and keeping up with all the classes and I feel confident I could do well this semester, but with the surgery coming I'm not sure.
My questions are, would they accommodate and if so to what extent(delay midterms for me, allow me to do quiz from home etc).
If not, do I basically have to start over in winter semester and would this mess up my OSAP?
Any help would be appreciated! Thank you
