Has your doctor declared you 100% permanently disabled? If so, they should be able to point you in the right direction as to your next steps.

I doubt this is the case, though, as there are tons of people out in the workforce in wheelchairs, with one leg, with zero legs. Can you look into entry-level call center roles or roles where you can sit? Some grocery stores, etc. will allow you to scan items/check out customers while seated.

Edited to add: Your edit makes this sound even sketchier. Your doctor “listed you as disabled” before they attempted to replace your knee? Have you had a replacement? None of this, medically, makes much sense.

Ya I doubt you would get full disability from this but I am far from an expert here.

No idea what OP's plan was as far as degree and career but it sounds like a desk job would probably be what OP should be focusing on. Tons of ways to make a good income that doesn't involve being on your feet or walking much.

Oh yeah, I’d definitely recommend OP finish whatever degree they were working on. I got the sense that they needed a job with benefits NOW, which is why I suggested the entry level stuff.
