I was on STD in Omaha, Nebraska and it turned into LTD where 15 days after surgery I was demoted. I had let LEAVES know that my STD was up 2 day after surgery Is this legal?
I was on STD and to have surgery two days before my STD would turn to LTD and 12 Days into LTD I was demoted.
Should a reasonable accommodation have been made for the 12 days to heal from a meniscus tear knee surgery?

The EEOC has guidelines on whether an additional, unpaid leave of absence should be a reasonable accommodation. https://www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/publications/ada-leave.cfm It sounds like you might have qualified for one.
Whether or not an employer should provide a reasonable accommodation is a fact based question, though. There is no stock answer. You need to consult with an employment lawyer and go over your specific facts with him or her.
