I'm disabled. Am I allowed to have standards?

Recently disabled, divorced because of it. I don't know if I'll recover in a year or never. I understand I can't do anything but be a homebody. Am I expected to just die alone?

Edit: Practicalities: I have a kind of rare spinal injury. I'm not paralyzed, I look fine. I should recover at some point, in fact it should have already happened, but in rare cases like mine you just don't have a time frame, it could be a year, ten years, or never.

The practical effect is that I can't be upright for long so I have to lay in a reclining wheelchair, couch, or bed. I should hopefully recover, but there's really no timetable and it's been a few years already and I really want my life to be more than it is, but I kind of think no one will be willing to deal with this.
