Getting in your fitness however you can is key. I had a bad fall in July 2021 (rotator cuff - so similar prognosis wrt time to full recovery being 6-12months) and while I couldn't ride for awhile, I continued trail running/hiking as much as possible. Now I'm also in the gym to keep muscle mass up.
Not gonna lie, first few weeks were horrid and I fell into a bit of a depression. Time went by soooooooo slowly. It became easier once the initial acute phase had passed (a month or so) and I could move the bod in other ways.
Great you've got solid family support! Tweaking my diet to support healing and recovery were also key. Good luck and heal up soon!
