That series of events really really sucks and I'm sorry that it all went wrong for you at the worst possible time.

I understand your wife could have been more understanding about the situation and put herself in your shoes to empathise more, but maybe it would be worth trying to see her perspective as well. It's not too late to make up and start 2024 on the right foot (no pun intended), with a little humility on both sides.

Yeah yeah, we had a conversation the next day... about half a day in, she was still pissed, so I waited. Still, we smoothed things out. She had no idea my leg hurt, I usually don't bother people with my problems (I may tell, but only if someone asks), so she had no idea how things went down... she just spew everything out that night and I couldn't even say a word. She said she was sorry, she could have handled it better, she was empathetic when I told her the whole thing... so, no harm no faul, we're good now ☺️.
