If you were a full time employee for the last 12 months and your company employes at least 50 people, it is possible you might be protected under the FMLA. You would have to had continuing contact with the employer so they knew how long you might be off. Simply showing up one week later with a note would not protect you if the employer had no notice you would be off sick for a week
