Help During Appendicitis Recovery

Hello everyone! We'll apparently emergency appendicitis surgery keeps you out of work for at least a couple weeks. I don't know how fast short term disability will come in and I know they only pay 2/3rds and not even the first week. I'm just hoping friends and family can help me get by with what I'd normally make in a couple of weeks with room for those extra generous gentlemen and ladies ;) .Nothing fancy about this, don't give if you can't, I'll make it work out somehow like I always do with overtime when I get back to work.
