Listen man, idk if this will help but there is a white tailed deer that has been living in my yard for weeks now, and it has a broken back leg, the foot is literally twisted the other way. However, this deer continues to get up every morning and hobbles around foraging for grass, doing whatever it is deer do. What I'm trying to say is, that deer has every reason to just lay down and give up, but it doesn't, it forces itself on its feet everyday and keeps pushing on, and that's what I want you to do.
