Story time! So I've been going to a public orthodontist for years now, have received my braces for free and was supposed to be getting jaw surgery done to correct my under bite. I was told that the surgery would go ahead during the middle of December with 6 weeks recovery and it had to go ahead at that time because they only had a limited amount of funding from the health services. No bother, I had just left my job to do some travelling and would be home at the end of November so it worked out pretty well.

Fast Forward to two days before the operation I get a call from the surgeon telling me that my jaw is not quite ready and if it were to go ahead now I may have to have the surgery a second time in the future. So it gets postponed and when I asked for how long he told me maybe a couple of weeks until the orthodontist corrects the problem. 

Problem number two arises when the funding gets lost from the health services (or I imagine the surgery given to someone else because I wasn't ready) so now I've to wait to get it done in a public hospital, that haven't given me a date for it, and I've been going to the orthodontist every month and nothing is happening besides everyone waiting on this.

I'm not in college and I haven't gotten a new job because of the six week recovery (I don't want to start a job and immediately have to quit if surgery comes up) and because I don't know the date of the surgery so I cant work a job around that. 

I'm 21M and living at home so my parents sort me out with food and occasionally money but I really don't want to be taking money out of their pocket whenever I need it (its mostly on travel because our house is a bit out from the city). I've picked up a hobby, binged watched a lot of series, done some khanacademy stuff among other things to try and keep busy however I'm getting really bad cabin fever, it's an all play and no work kind of deal. What should I be doing at this time in my life?

I don't know when I can have surgery to correct a problem with my teeth that has been postponed and I can't work because of it.
