I am a manager at a restaurant. I was off sick for surgery and felt they rushed me back. My boss was also innapropriate over the phine when I called to extend my time off. I even offered to use vacation days. I went in yesterday for a shift I had to cover because of my absence. My manager was there and I felt like he was attacking me about working more hours. I told him he was being disrespectful. He continued and I walked out. He ordered me to come back. I said "no, after the way you have treated me, I do not respect you". He said " get out of here". I said " you are firing me" ? He said "yes". I was one day short of being employed for 3 months with the company. My question is...do I qualify for severance?

Yes, but it will likely be minimal, potentially 1 or 2 weeks pay and it will be very difficult to get. Your boss will likely say that you quit or that you were fired for cause.
