I had RP and work full time. Post surgery I had full energy but not able to think clearly at all. Zero support from the hospital, all in my head.

Thank you for raising the question.

I'm really sorry to hear that. When I was a hospital in-patient for 3½ months, I was offered a huge range of support services, from social workers to occupational and physical therapy to psychotherapy to dietician consultations, all funded by the province. But as soon as I came home it was a completely-different situation: I was sent home with a lot of literature and access to a good 9-5/M-F patient-support line at the Cancer Centre, but because I was under 65, didn't live alone, could feed and dress myself, and wasn't in economic need, I was far down the waiting list for any kind of decent homecare (after initial assessments).
