Honestly Judy, I can't think of how you can work a job except from home. I cannot sit or stand all day. My office is down the hall and though my sitting ability varies from day to day, when I've had enough, I simply move back into my recliner. In fact, several years ago I got a laptop to work from my lap. I put a pillow under a cooling type laptop stand and can literally work like this all day if I have to. AtI my worst, I had a filing system all within easy reach.
I write and can do so all day. If your recliner is straight, I would recommend pillows under your knees and feet to keep a semi- zero gravity position.
I also like to paint which does require sitting for a long period of time. To do so, I find I must wear my back brace. I simply cannot do it otherwise.
You also might consider going on state disability but then again, you would have had to have worked prior to all your surgeries. Really don't know about all this stuff -
Dale
