Temporary Disability:

A temporary impairment (e.g., broken arm or leg, surgery and recovering from surgery, etc) “does not constitute a disability for purposes of Section 504 or the ADA unless its severity is such that it results in a substantial limitation of one or more major life activities for an extended period of time. The issue of whether a temporary impairment is substantial enough to be a disability must be resolved on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration both the duration (or expected duration) of the impairment and the extent to which it actually limits a major life activity of the affected individual.” See Question #34 on the Office for Civil Rights web page: http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/504faq.html
