If you do not have someone you trust to help you during the initial days after surgery, you can consider hiring a nurse. The pricing for nurse services can vary based on factors such as location and duration. It is advisable to consult with your surgeon's office for recommendations and specific pricing details.

The choice of where to stay during your recovery is a personal decision. There are different options available, including recovery houses, with fees ranging from $150 to $400 per 24 hours. I recommend calling around to explore your options.
