PS. Try to put 110% effort into your rehab, it will pay dividends. I did and my pelvis is pretty much good as new, albeit will screws and plates!

I would say all injuries affect one's quality of life. It's a matter of how much.

5 years ago I broke my pelvis and wrist both on the right side. The pelvis break meant no weight bearing for 3 months and the right wrist meant using a forearm crutch on that side. After 10 days in hospital I spent another 3 weeks in rehab and then a friend let me stay til the end of the 12 weeks so that I wasn't alone because it was very debilitating. I suggest you prepare well and get your ducks all in a row rather than hoping it all just turns out well. Good luck.
