like it or not, gotta stick/cope with it
without further context this is very close to a guess, but check this
>>http://www.augustobriga.net/memoria/REFRANES.htm
there are many interpretaions for apañarse, depending on context/country, one of them is to deal/cope with something no matter how difficult that may be. Probably whoever said this, was about to take some action witouth desiring it, but had no choice.
Good luck.
