Sick Leave vs Vacation

Been a salaried employee for going on eight years. Gave my boss lots of notice in regards to major surgery. My last day of work before the surgery he loses his mind because I'm applying for sick benefits through gov't employment insurance (in Canada, company does not offer short term disability) and is extremely angry I'm not using vacation time… yelling angry. He has not reached out to me to see how everything went. Fully expect to be fired when I get back. Never had a write up and reviews have all been excellent but he hired his son to replace me while I'm off. Any advice would be appreciated.
