Check with your insurance company and see if they can schedule a Wound Care Nurse, or Nurse to visit you home after surgery and help you. Also ask at the Hospital, for a Social Worker and see what can get scheduled.

If doctor orders it, Medicare may pay for a nurse to come to your home to change badages. My Mom had kidney surgery years ago and I know I was not the one who changed her badages.
