I know that it is rough at the moment - but hang on in there, it will get better.
Last year my son Pip had major surgery on his ankle to straighten in. External Fixator on his leg for 16 weeks, confined to a wheelchair for much of the time, as he was too unsteady on crutches to do much. Danger that the operation may not work, chance of further ops, amputation if things went wrong. Weekly hospital visits.
At 16 weeks the xray showed that everything was fine and that the fixator could be removed, which really surprised the consultant as he had anticipated that it would be a much longer procedure, as Pip has other health issues, including the bones in his leg being very thin.
OK things like contact sport are out for him, but that doesn't bother him as he has never been into things like football - but he is now enjoying things like badminton and non contact stuff in PE.
So hang on in there - keeping fingers cross that things work out for you and you can once again enjoy your van.
Think of things like putting on a seasonal pitch somewhere within easy reach of home, so that you could still use it - without the hassle of towing etc.

keep smiling. A friend of mine, her son an ice hockey player, was in a motorbike accident, mashed his leg up, they pinned it, grafted it and all was looking good, had gone back to 6th form. Two weeks into school, he developed some pain. Back in to check up.. infection had set in. The whole op had to be reversed, all the graft had to be cleared out and he ended up in a wheelchair for a few weeks. Over winter it was terrible for him not being on the ice. His next op was having bags of 'something' implanted, these in time should develop into bone, it was the last chance saloon. It worked for him and a was back on the ice this year. Not quite the same as you Boris54, but keep going. No matter what life throws at us, find the best option.
