Sick during notice period. WWYD?

An old condition has flared up and long story short - went to emergency GP Today, who referred me immediately to hospital and I'm having surgery tomorrow morning.
The thing is I handed my notice in a week ago and got persuaded to stay on an extra week whilst they recruit. It looks like the down time following the surgery may well take me through my entire notice period.
Do I retract the extra week they asked me to stay on (it's official I amended my notice letter), or do I just take it as Sick? New job doesn't start until a week later so if I retract I'll be taking it unpaid which would be a struggle

I would just take it as sick

If they ask for handover notes etc don’t do them till you’re well again

And get well soon Flowers

Definitely take it as sick. It’s not your fault. It’s unfortunate for them but that’s life.

Feel better soon and good luck in your new job x
