sounds like things will be ok, although perhaps uncomfortable for a little while. hang in there. rather than paying someone to take you in, what about having someone come and stay with you? perhaps a personal aide or nursing assistant i don't know. i think it would be better for you to stay at your own home, if you can. just my opinion.

i am glad you were given so much information. i will be wishing you well for the surgery of course. please let us know when you schedule it.
