I'm afraid that I won't be much help - but I'm really sorry that you are haivng such a hard time. I know about knee replacement surgery and you certainly cannot get around well now, but it should get better in the future.
About the housebreaking. Do you have a fenced yard? If so, and your yard is safe, can you try a doggie door so they can go outside to potty. That is what worked for me - when we put in a doggie door so that our Rowdy could go out the doggie door by himself, then he was almost magically housebroken. Rexy came a year later and he just followed Rowdy's lead, and so he was pretty easy to break.
I can't say that Rowdy doesn't occasionally potty on the floor, because he does. He is not neutered and so he marks - but it is only alittle bit and we have wood floors and stained concrete, so it doesn't matter, I just wipe it up. Rexy never goes in the house, except for occasionally pooping in my mom's room - I don't know why, but sometimes he does.
Good luck, I hope you get some good suggestions.
