Oof. I'm so sorry to hear about this setback; I hope you bounce back from it pretty quickly.
I can see how disability could be difficult for you to accept - but I think others here have given good counsel on that. As for work ... is there something you might be able to do (that would be acceptable to you) that's more of a "desk job" that would be a much lower risk of straining your back? I realize you like doing physical projects, but what you know about how things work is at least as valuable as the ability to do them yourself - if not more so. As for the potential onset of "cabin fever" - stuff that's much more "think" than "move" might help. (Have you ever been tempted to write? :)
