I need opinions on my work situation....

My last appointment before surgery is not untill april 30th! but i am on a cancellation list so that i can get in earlier. i just started a temporary job last week for some income for about a month. i already missed two calls to reschedule for this week! so i told the dr's office to call my work instead so they could get a hold of me durig the day. when i told my work this they were upset that i was even having a surgery and didn't tell them and they said i was not allowed to recieve personal calls for any reason. this greatly upset me. i talked to my fiance and he suggested switching to a night shift so i would be home during the day. i talked to my manager and she said i couldn't because of a 30 day probation for new people and that i should have discussed this in my interview but i was afraid they wouldn't hire me if i mentioned it, i had no idea i would start getting calls this soon to reschedule. i was very upset about this and they seemed to be upset t me as well. i thought about it for a second and decided a life saving surgery was more important than a stupid telemarketing job so i quit today. my fiance is very upset with me because we needed the extra money so i'm not sure if i did the right thing. what would you have done?
