I am so sorry you have had this experience and are trying to cope with your new circumstances.

Listen to your body.

And listen to the people on this site they really know what they are talking about as they have had exp similar to you, as I have.

The people here have done much research and want to help you.

I suffered an accident 3 weeks ago , was unconscious afterwards but was fortunate enough to meet a great consultant who kept me in hospital.

You seem to have not had the appropriate care at the start of your ordeal.

Take in as much info as you can about your new condition but only a little at a time because your mind needs rest.

Today is a new day which means you are more progressed than yesterday.

You may feel worse because your accident was terrible and I am so sorry you were not kept in hospital. But the healing is on it's way.

The best advice I was given is to tell your friends what you need and how and when. Explain what you can and cannot manage.

They will not understand how you feel but they can take direction.

So if you need dinner, ask, if you need quiet, ask, if you need help walking to the bathroom ask etc.....

Do not worry about your dog, it will be fine. It will worry about you but that is what dogs are best at - caring and being loyal.

For now, enjoy the sun and learn and accept your new current circumstances.

Take care
