We can't get in to see the specialist until tomorrow! |
|
When I called this morning they told me they did not have any openings until Friday afternoon. I was gentle but firm in asserting that my daughter needs to be seen sooner, since I can't carry her around for 3 days. So we are going tomorrow at 1:30.
In the meantime I am going to call around and see if I can rent some crutches.
We went to a big box store today, because I was going to buy a cheap stroller to get her around in the meantime and as I was wheeling her in using a shopping cart, I ran into an acquaintance of mine, who just happened to have an extra stroller in the trunk of her car. So I did not have to buy one.
I am exhausted, though, from carrying her back and forth to the bathroom, the car, and the store.

I'm glad you got hold of a stroller, though.

5. I think that because of the nature of the fracture, the urgent care was unsure about |
|
how long K will be off her foot, so they probably did not want to charge me the $50 for crutches.
I am digging around to try and get her some rental crutches.

3. I'm shocked they wouldn't help get your daughter crutches |
|
At this rate you'll be needing a pair as well. :(

4. Any surgical supply store |
|
should have some you can rent. or, barring that, you can usually rent a wheelchair for about $1-2 per day.
I hope you can get through this without any more delays or problems. Good vibes for your daughter, and for you. :hug:

6. I am googling for medical equipment outlets nearby |
|
Not having much luck. May have to call one of my daughter's schoolmate's mom, who is a pediatrician and ask her where to get stuff.

12. Maybe your local pharmacy can hook you up? |
|
Not like a Rite Aid or a Walgreen's, but a locally-owned joint. They may have a pair they can rent to you cheap.

I hope you find someone who can help you. I've been your kid, and I've been you. Both sides suck.
