Setbacks from surgery have me struggling.

Most of you know I have been sick for a while. On February 27th, I had surgery once again to hopefully finally fix the problems. Surgery went well, but soon issues developed. I spent 9 days in the hospital afterward. Things started to get better until I developed an infection 3 weeks later and almost didn't make it. Again I was back in the hospital for several more days.This has set me back on returning to work and the money I saved to pay monthly expenses is almost gone. I didn't plan to be off this long. I am a very proud man and do not ask for help on anything, but I'm to the point where I don't know what to do. I was supposed to be off for 6 weeks, but now I'm not sure. I'm hoping to get back to work, but the doctor will probably have different opinions. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated and I will do whatever it takes to pay each and every person back once I get back to work.
