Ask your doctor or pharmacist if the medications you get are ok to crush. Many medicines come in liquid form which would probably be much easier for you to take. Some medications (usually capsules) are time release medications which should never be crushed.
As long as the sutures are not infected, a couple extra days shouldnt make a difference. Just make sure the wound is kept dry and isnt red or oozing anything. That would be a sign of an infection.
Im not sure why you were told to seek out an Endocrinology doctor. I was not told to get one??? I dont think many of our members have been sent there either. But remember, every person is different as is ever case. Maybe its something about your medical history? I suggest next time you see the physician who told you to go there, ask them why.
Best wishes with your continued recovery.
