My story won't make you feel better really... I broke my leg in three places almost 10 weeks ago. I am still mainly wheelchair bound, I have a big boot cast for outside and starting to put a bit of weight through while on sticks. Things are a bit more complex and slow for me as have pre existing problems with my lower limbs (and other areas but lower limbs are worst), On the 10th of april, just over 12 weeks post accident I get rid of the boot and can start learning to walk again. I am hoping that by the end of May I will be able to walk without sticks for short distances. It is a huge goal that will take a great deal of work.
I have a 4 year old (he has turned 4 while I have been going through this) and an almost 7 year old. I don't have a clue what would have happened without the support from friends and the community. There is a cooking rota in the village for me, I am now able to look after my children on my own but for 6 weeks it was a rota of friends and school friends, the same for the school and pre school run. Last week, 9 weeks in I was able for the first time to do the school run on my own in the wheelchair as I was finally able to get in and out of the house on my own. All sorts of things you don't think of come up, have to relay on people to get me to the hospital and physio even simple things like fetching a drink for myself or the children. On days my ds isn't at pre-school my dh makes him a packed lunch that ds can then get out the fridge for himself, we have found little ways of getting around problems. Dh took the first week when I was in hospital off work as I was very ill and my leg was under threat but we can not afford for him to take any more time off as I am self employed so we have lost my small but makes a difference income.
The big thing I have learnt are that I have to ask for help, if people offer help don't be afraid to say yes. Tell people what you need so you don't end up with a fridge full of cottage pie and no one to pick the children up from school. A big help has come from the church community, due to it's organised nature it has meant that we have been able to organise things well even though I know the vicar and consider her a friend I am not a regular church goer (mainly due to working Sunday mornings but we go to mass on Good Friday, Christmas and if a service is on a different day or time then normal Sunday service, about 4 times a year it works out), a good church community will want to help even if you aren't 'one of them' that is what being a Christian (and other faiths to be honest) is about.
The positive for you is a wrist isn't so bad, I assume from what you said you haven't needed surgery so it should be 6 weeks in a cast? My good friend (who has been my main help) broke her wrist last November, she needed quite allot of help for the first 3 weeks, she wasn't able to drive which was a big problem (we are rural, I haven't a car and can't drive hers) but we managed to get round it with help of others in the community. She ended up having her cast off a week early at 5 weeks post fall and was able to drive a few days later, she was back to things very quickly although she didn't take up physio and now regrets that as she has limited movement. It was barely a month after she came of of her cast when she became my main carer (poor thing) and he wrist has been fine on the whole.
I hope you are able to get support from friends, family and community, the hard bit is the asking and the accepting, pushing myself to maintain my independence has always been a big part of managing my pre existing condition as mobility issues can be a big part of it so having to do a 180 degree turn on that has been very hard.
Sorry for the very long, probably waffling post, I hope you recover well and quickly just know your not alone!
