Ugh! I'm so sorry. I've worked for employers in the past that required us to find our own replacement, and I hated it. But, even all of those employers, if you had something like a very contagious, communicable disease, such as pink eye, they would ask you to find your own replacement, but ultimately if you couldn't, they would take over the responsibility of finding someone, or cover it themselves.

I would check with your Department of Labor as well, because I cannot see how that can be legal. I know here, if you work around food, the elderly, children, etc. and you have a contagious disease/illness, you HAVE to be out of work and get a doctors note for returning.
