Taking off 6 weeks due to an ACL surgery and HR is being annoying

So I got into a ski accident and will require an ACL surgery next week. Dr's recommendation is that I stay out of work for 6 weeks. I am in marketing & work remotely from a home office. Since I've been with my current company for less then 12 months I do not qualify for FMLA. Company appraised itself to be super caring and pretty much unicorn wonderland bullshit. And now HR is questioning my Dr's recommendation of staying out for 6 weeks, and have me double confirm with the Dr that since I work remotely do I really need those 6 weeks. Have the Dr fill a ADA form and list out what the EMPLOYER could accommodate in order for me to work? Any suggestions for this HR bullshit?
