“I have an appointment with a surgeon for a consult a week from Monday. It was suppose to be this Monday, but they scheduled it for the wrong location and I had to cancel since I didn’t have 3 days notice to give to transport of the location change. (my van is GONE...engine destroyed, given away for scrap). Besides, can’t drive if the legs don’t work :(”
You can’t wait a week — you need to be seen ASAP. I suggest you try to find a friend or acquaintance who is willing to take you to the doctor on Monday — looks like you are not better and really need to be seen. Sometimes even casual friends will come through in a true need and this is definitely one.
Can you go to a different hospital emergency room tomorrow — if you can’t move your legs, they will have to take you seriously.
Best wishes.
I might have to break down and call for an ambulance again tomorrow morning. I have nobody who can take me, we just moved to a new neighborhood and don’t know anyone yet...and my landlord/friend has to work. I called my insurance nurse help line...waiting now for the callback.
