Trying to come to terms with this...

Hello everyone, I’m Dee I’m 27 and I have been living in japan for 6 years. 2 years into my time here I felt like it was time for me to get a best bud to help me through the hard times. I found a lovely little dachshund who I named alfie and let’s just say he has brought so much joy to mine and my wife’s life.
He is now 4 years old and is always full of beans, we have always been aware that herniated discs could be a big problem in dachshunds so we have always been cautious. That being said on Thursday night we came home from having a meal to find out boy dragging his back legs and let’s just say my heart broke... I have been a mess since then. We took him to the vets early in the morning and the vet has said he has a herniated disc but as he is still able to go to the bathroom by himself and his back legs have a slight reflex we have been prescribed injections.
We are going to try for a month and see how things go and obviously we want to help as much as we can.
I’m finding it hard coming to terms with this more than my wife, she is very strong and is also pregnant XD
I don’t know why but I feel like it is my fault, if we didn’t go out for dinner this wouldn’t have happened.
How did you guys come to terms with the fact your pets might never walk again?
