Chirley,
I'll bet that by "it would be their responsibility" they mean "they would be legally liable." But that's true for any on-the-job injury and they must be insured for such things. There's a tradeoff between risks in limiting the days you can work to ensure that more people are around but giving you longer hours that could make it harder for you to maintain your stamina. By common sense the decision should be up to you. If you really want to pursue it, you might consider getting a written recommendation from your doctor about an appropriate work schedule. Your employer might be more comfortable (or feel more legally protected) following a medical recommendation.
The ideal solution is for your endurance to return to normal so it won't be an issue at all!
