What am I going to do???????????????????????

Oh it hurts so bad.Went to Primary Care after calling them and telling them I can barely walk and did they have a wheelchair for someone very overweight. Assured me yes but when I got there, just had regular size. Forced myself in, arms and seat cutting into my sides and legs. Waited well over an hour an was not called, the pain in my foot/ankle worsening and my feet and legs falling asleep from being cut into by the seat.

Left there to go to the ER. ER took an xray. Could not see anything wrong with the bones. No bone doctors on the weekend. No foot doctors. I'm already on pain medicine and anti-inflammatories and they have not touched the pain so was not prescribed anything else. Asked the er doctor what could be done to help me walk until the weekend was over and I could see someone else. He says nonchalantly "i'on't know" .. the nurse comes in and says they can prescribe me a quad cane or walker to use but their medical supply place was closed so we'd have to try elsewhere. Mom went to cvs .. they had nothing .. went to walgreen's they had one that had a 250 limit which I am far over but even if i wasn't, they don't bill medicare/medicaid and I don't have the 40 dollars the cane would cost.

So I am home now, after having a mini-breakdown coming up my three steps into the house, nauseous, sweating, hurting so much .. and no better off than I was when it happened. I am writing this to try to think of anything else but just how awful it is and how much I have to pee because I am dreading more than most anything trying to make it to the bathroom.
