📝 AITAH for not helping clean my boyfriend’s place?

I do not live with him, for context. This is a new relationship. Long story short, my boyfriend had pretty major surgery recently and is just starting to recover. He can do some things on his own, but not too much. I came over for a few days to help out as much as I could, a lot of which included medical related stuff. Pain management, medication management, etc. I work in the healthcare field (CNA) so none of that was new to me. However, for a couple days both of us got into drinking and smoking a little weed after we got socially settled in and comfortable. He likes using weed for pain management even if I don’t use it. I never use it, actually. Maybe once every couple years if that. So lots of weed, groceries, junk food, and sleeping later…the house was a lot more disorganized than it started with. Laundry didn’t get folded. The bed didn’t get made, there were pop cans and such all over the counter. Organized, but not put in the recycling. I woke up at 6am to go to work today and got sent home because of low BP once my boss saw I was behaving sluggishly. Boyfriend is now upset and doesn’t want me seeing him until he feels better or taking care of him at all because I left the house a mess. I guess the fog of the weed got to me. Mind you, I’m 100lbs and never smoke. Yeah it was stupid for me to engage, but it can explain my brain fog. How do I get him to trust me again? I feel terrible for letting the fog cloud my judgment and fuck him over at a time like this.
