Thanks thejen626! This is really good to hear. I am just so bummed about feeling like I won't be able to take care of my baby. I am like counting down the days until I can walk again, which is probably not productive at this early stage of recovery. My mood has picked up in the past couple of days, though. Last weekend I was crying multiple times a day just because I felt so damn sorry for myself. But in the grand scheme of things, 10-12 weeks won't be the lifetime that it seems like now.

Oh I can't see tickers, when are you due? I promise as soon as you can bear weight again it will get so much easier! And little babies are so easy to care for, you just need a boob (or some bottles) and diapers, they sleep like 90% of the time anyway
My DH was downright miserable for weeks, honestly. It was so hard, for him and for me. You should rent a wheelchair so your DH or your friends can take you out to dinner, movies, etc. My DH was so excited when I would push him around the mall, just to get out of the house made him so happy.
It was very hard for us, and for our relationship, I'm not a very good caretaker, unfortunately. But we made it through, and we both feel that our relationship is stronger now than it was before he broke his leg.

You'll get through it!
I am due on August 2. Three weeks! :-$
I have so much mobility equipment. I rented a wheelchair and a knee scooter! We went out to dinner with some friends last night. It was nice to see them, but I get so uncomfortable when I can't elevate my leg. Also, getting out the door (lots of scary steps) and going anywhere is kind of exhausting at 37 weeks pg, so my social engagements are pretty limited unless the friends want to come to me.

I would love if more people accepted my offers of help. It's hard to know specifically what someone may need. I usually try to make sure that I'm clear that my offer is genuine.
