I am glad to hear that you are doing better. I am not yet retired and I have had major heart surgery, a stroke, and as a nice kicker, CLL. So I can relate. Have you messed around with https://ficalc.app/ ?? Its pretty cool.
I am 62, and among the folks who could retire, but continue to work for healthcare coverage. Luckily I have a great job that I enjoy, so it is not huge burden for me.
I ran across this website calculator and it sure seems to give good advice on when to start Social Security, for both spouses. https://opensocialsecurity.com/
Just be careful with Auto Insurance company roadside service. I have heard (from listening to Clark Howard's podcast and radio program in the past) that some insurance companies will treat a call for roadside assistance just like an accident as far as your insurance rates are concerned. This is totally nuts, but I can certainly think of few insurers that would do this.

Mine is held by Empower, which is owned by Great West Financial, an insurance company. We will part ways as soon as I retire. Good riddance.

I do the quarterly thing with spreadsheets on Google Sheets. I have heard of GnuCash but never looked at it seriously. I will now. Thanks for the tip.
