OP, I think you are being MORE than gracious in scheduling your vacation so as not to inconvenience her.  I would absolutely document all of her leave time, and plans, in writing.   I would argue that you are entitled to say that accommodating 5 weeks out (some for personal vacation) is more than bending over backwards for her.  I do not think you need to extend further consideration.

She would be harming her standing in my eyes by doing this.

But, given where you are, I would put it in writing.

I think you're right - this is likely to cause issues down the line.  But this is her choice - not yours.  She is choosing to take more time than she needs for the surgery, knowing that this means any other time she wants to take off later in the year will need to be unpaid.

Be sure to think through when you're taking your vacation so that if she decides she's ready to come back to work sooner than the 4 week mark you can either take advantage of that, or you've put in writing that we will be on leave until a specific date.  (The danger being that you schedule your vacation for the latter half of July, she decides she's able to come back to work earlier than anticipated.  Then you're in the position of dealing with someone who feels ready to work and therefore feeling she should be paid, while you're on vacation in order to accommodate her but therefore not needing her to work.)

Hope that makes sense.

You're in a crummy spot but I can tell you're trying to be decent about it.  I hope your goodwill is repaid w/ loyalty.[/quote]
