Navigating unemployment and short-term disability after foot surgery

I have been receiving unemployment benefits since June, but I recently had foot surgery last week. Although I am technically weight bearing, I need to minimize my activity for the first week, and since it's my driving foot, I won't be able to drive for about six weeks. I could take on remote work, which I was doing before June, but I'm unsure if I should claim that I'm too injured to work. I'm considering switching from unemployment to short-term disability and want to understand how my benefits would change if I make that switch.
