Anyone else 2 weeks out for THR, left in my case? How are you doing?

I am 82 yr/o female with THR on 12/9/25. I am surviving home alone. I am enervated with double blood thinners following a blood clot. My friend is keeping my female pups:
*4 yr old Maltese Mix 8 lbs full of energy and scratches/ pierces my legs and arm with her too long nails. I am on double blood thinners following a blood clot.
*14 yr old Maltese Mix 10 lbs wants to sleep and needs eye drops ]plus wait 5 minlutes and then add gell to eye] 3x per day requiring me to pick her up, put her in kitchen sink for her to be stable enough to also clean her eye.

My friend is bringing them back tomorrow without discussion or a heads up. I am in disbelief at the sudden announcement just now without collaborations. I did call my Assistant to Surgeon contact. He said "not a clear yes, not a clear no" and referred me to OT, PC who were here yesterday, and won't be back until Fri.
I am walking well to my amazement. Sometimes floating, often nausiated [even with anti-nausea pill] after meds. Very constipated starting before surgery and with 1 movement in 2 weeks! A 2nd bowel movement yesterday after 4 cafergot on top of prescribed softeners and stimulants taken daily since surgery! How have you solved constipation problem?
So how are you doing? Overall?
