What to do if I got hurt on the job and had to have a total knee replacement?

I was out for a total of 6 months. During my time out my supervisor called me and there were some words exchanged between the 2 of us that weren’t very pleasing. Once I returned to work which was just today he gave me a letter stating that I am suspended for 30 days for being insubornate to him during that telephone conversation. Is it legal for him to get away with this being that I was out on workmens comp during this time and not at work
