I've been in a very similiar situation myself. I was taking too much time off work due to my depression and I was called into my boss's office, where I was told off and a warning was put in my file. I cried too. Not long after that, they sent me to the 'company doctor' for evaluation. I guess it's routine but it makes you feel that they don't believe there really is anything wrong with you.
Anyway, when I saw the company dr, he mentioned about the time I was taking off. I told him that it was hard to even think about work when I was desperately trying to stay alive. I was extremely suicidal at the time. He supposedly was putting a letter in my file stating that the time off was not in my control. I lost a lot of wages for the time I took off and unfortunately it was never reinbursed to me.
Don't be so hard on yourself. It shouldn't be too difficult to put in another hour a week. I actually can't believe that they are so picky over just one hour. I guess it's all just office/insurance politics. Maybe she was just trying to warn you so that all your bases were covered so that you wouldn't have any problems with the insurance company.
Good luck.
