SSI and Medicaid are income & resource based. Depending on what your bf's income is, you could lose medicaid & you could lose a portion of your SSI. You get Medicaid because SSA found you disabled and eligible for SSI. Any money he gives you and/or any of your bills that he pays could go against you.
You will stay in the hospital 1 to 3 days after the operation. In most cases you should be able to go back to your normal daily activities in 1 to 3 weeks. If your appendix ruptured or an abscess formed, you will need to stay at the hospital longer and it will take more time to recover. If you have a drainage tube, it will be removed when the infection has cleared up.
You may stay in the hospital for 5 to 7 days or as long as 2 weeks after surgery. Follow-up care is needed because of the possibility that colorectal cancer will return, even if the surgery was successful.
