I was not much impressed by the day programs I have attended in the past either, Crook32. But they did give me someplace to be & something to do to keep my mind off of my troubles. Being at home alone following a hospitalization is, from my perspective, probably the worst option. So, based on my personal experience, I would encourage you to get into a day program, or some similar activity, as soon as possible. Under any circumstances, I wish you all the best in your recovery.
