You just need to prepare yourself mentally. I have had a series of knee surgeries over the past few months. I have been practically bedridden since December and it will be close to a year before I am recovered. Luckily I knew what I was in for, so I had time to gather plenty of activities for myself to do once I couldn't move that much. I have meltdowns once in awhile because it really does suck and I am in a lot of pain, but in the end I have support from friends and family and I keep telling myself that I can do this and after it is all over I will feel so much better. We are not given more than we can handle.

I have a friend who had to deal with something like that: He fell out of a tree and broke his arm. When it wouldn't heal right, tests were done that showed he had brittle bones- a condition he had inherited.
So, while it was hard, he had to let it heal. Now he is working on intensive therapy to build his arm back up again. That was hard for him: He used to bench-press 200 pounds.

Patience. My wife and I have both had shoulder surgeries with very long recovery times. LISTEN to the doctors about any restrictions they impose, and follow them. They are meant to help you not to inconvenience you. If your recovery involves rehab and/or exercises, follow the directions you are given and be faithful to them. It will pay off in the long run. Good luck and hang in there.

That depends on where the injury is....major lifestyle change.
