Broke my fibula today

I’ve been kind of going through it for the last 8 months. I have a 15 month old. He started daycare in October and has been pretty constantly sick since November. My husband works 4 days on and 4 days off between 12-14 hours rotating every month between nights and days. I work full time, remotely, so handling illness has been easier comparatively. My husband is military and they are undermanned so he can’t really take time off. For the past month, my son has been going through some sleep regressions. Mostly not wanting his crib at night at all. Everything feels stressful and difficult. I restarted medication because I’m either depressed or enraged.

Today I broke my fibula going down the stairs with my son. And I’m not sure what I’m going to do. My husband came to take me to the ER and even then work kind of wanted him to come back. And I get it. I also don’t have anyone nearby to help. My mom would come but she’s taking care of my sisters dog across the country while my sister is working in Korea. My husband asked his dad if he could come and his dad balked at the request.

And I just don’t know how to manage any of this anymore. I’m trying and everything seems to be falling apart. I love my son. But I just wish things were easier.

I’m trying to figure out how I’m going to take care of him while my husband works. I’m just at a loss
