I went through a very similar situation after an injury, and my stubbornness of doing things myself didn't help at all. But when I came in for landings and my legs were totally numb, I was more than happy to accept help. Rob saved my butt from drowning at landing more than once, during those times by dragging my butt out of the surf. I'll never forget it, I'd hop out of the yak and my legs would collapse under me. after a couple of minutes of wiggling around on the sand, the old legs would work well enough for me to stand and sorta walk. I also remember it taking me a couple days to recoup from yaking, and back then I had a pedal yak. My point is, make sure you go with someone else, and don't be shy about letting them know of your condition and how it affects you; they'll help you out with what you need, without babying you. We've all either been through something like this, or had a loved one go through something like your going through, and we know that getting out there is a healthy thing. It'll take time, but you'll improve.
Either the above, or get a trailer for the yak.
