Is it legal to be fired after the first month of employment for medical issues?

I am 48 yrs old, employed for almost 3 years with US based company, work from home, I am currently on medical leave (since end of July) I am concerned about returning to work for a couple reasons, mainly retaliation and tolerance with need for medical treatment every 4 weeks that consumes a day. What are my rights? Does my employer have to accommodate this or can they make me take this time unpaid, or use vacation time? Or do they have to tolerate it at all? If I had to absorb vacation time, it would consume 13 of the 15 days I'm allowed.
