Oof, that's a lot.

And such a mix of people getting it right, and people without a clue.

the dessert which seemed to be cake and jam swimming in custard

I'm betting jam roly-poly.

but that means navigating one step (of the kind I couldn't do except on my butt earlier!)

Getting around on your butt could well be the most practical way to get from A to B! (BTDT) But you do need to consider the risks of banging things when getting up and down again at either end, so that doesn't necessarily hold true for the entire thing you're trying to do.

You might not have had a general anaesthetic, but it sounds like they rolled out the good stuff to reduce the dislocation, so you need to remember you're dealing with that on top of all the trauma, and go easy on yourself workwise - I'd seriously consider taking the entire week off bar any necessary handover. Hopefully your bosses will be reasonable in that respect.
