first, sorry to hear about the pending surgery. i hope it's nothing serious and a full recovery is expected and achieved.

do NOT hone the cylinder unless you have the correct equipment and expertise. and no a drill and a harbor freight hone is not the right equipment.

on your head, unless there isn't enough valve seat material left or the head is damaged you can save some money reusing it by getting a valve job.

bottom end, if there's bronze colored metal shavings in the oil filter replace the crank and crank bearings. if there aren't any of these metal shavings apparent then make sure you don't have any up and down movement of the rod or crank. some side to side movement is by designed.
