Learning to walk.

So according to everyone I have talked to between all the mess that is now my foot.... Two shattered bones that are now attatched to two titanium plates and a broken heel...as well as muscle and nerve damage from falling down 19 steel and concrete steps at work on the 24th of February. When I am allowed to put pressure on my foot I will have to do physical therapy to relearn how to walk. I keep being told I am lucky but I find no luck in my situation, workmens comp is fighting to change my doctor for me because he doesn't care. After he finished my surgery he called my grandfather even though my mom is my emergency contact. My grandfather told the doctor to call my mom and the doctor got rude and said he was already talking. I have yet to meet my doctor...his office would not give me anti nausea medicine and told me to go back to the hospital... My work mens comp adjuster had to get on them about pain meds after I have been calling them since Monday trying to get more. It took them until a week after my surgery to tell me I broke my heel, I still don't know all the damage the steel and concrete steps caused to my poor leg. I do know I have nerve damage though, if I push right above my knee cap I have sharp tingling sensations that run along my leg and always in my big toe now. I really don't know how much more I can take. Though I am happy to say I will still be going to FWA...had to change my transportation and room around though. I called the hotel this morning and had them change my room to a handicap room and I am thankful to say I have great friends who will be helping me out

In so many ways we can lose so much....
I'd suggestion following up with another doctor if that one's not working to your benefit, I know that might be hard in your case but still the way they are acting is uncalled for. I don't understand how it took them a week thats ridiculous, they should have completed everything while you were still in the hospital ono
Hope you have a great time at FWA
Things will work out, I just know it. ;)
