@gerrica, regarding getting resources and financial assistance, please ask to see the social worker at the hospital where you had surgery. They can help connect you with community resources for at home care and more.

There's also FindHelp.
FindHelp https://www.findhelp.org/ is a resource directory that helps people find and connect to social services in their area. Services include food pantries, legal services, housing, financial assistance, health care, and more. Just enter your Zip code.

There are many low cost, no cost services in the FindHelp directory that may be helpful for you in your search for resources to cover daily needs.
