Does my unit patch change if I was mostly discharged when it changed?

I was able to return home 30 days before my official exit date because I had leave days saved up. My unit patch changed before I was officially discharged but after I had been sent home. Since I finished my contract and had a medical but honorable discharge I was allowed to keep my uniform. I'm not sure which patch I am suppose to use though.

"Mostly discharged" is sort of like being "a little bit pregnant", either you are, or you're not. If you had not reached your discharge date yet, you were still assigned to your last unit.

If you are what we refer toi in the USMC as Terminal Leave, any type of awards or Updates would be allowed on your uniform. For instance I went on Terminal leave In June of 2000, but my retirement date was 1 Sept 2000. On August 10 2000 I went over the 20 year mark and rated another service stripe. I actually would put it on if I was to ever wear the uniform,,, which I havent in 16 years....

That is the correct response! Just don't try any stolen valor and wear it with pride.
