I think I may have a broken foot… ? Help!!?




Well last night, my sister and I were like really hyper, and so we were playing around with the camera and taking a video (I’m 13). So I was looking at the camera, and my sister is in an electric wheelchair (long story) and I thought she was going backwards, and I didn’t know she was going fowards (I was looking at the camera) and before I know it, she’s on top of my foot with one of her wheels, and so I started screaming and she stopped not knowing she was ontop of my foot, and I was screaming, "GET IT OFF!!" she didn’t know I was screaming at her and stayed ontop of my foot for a few seconds. Ever since then I’ve been in excruciating pain and my veins are like popping out of my foot, and I can hardally walk on it cause it hurts too much.

My parents just think it’s a bruise, so they aren’t going to take me to the doctors to get an x-ray or anything. What should I do?? I can’t stand this pain for any longer!!

(I have been putting ice on it and elevating it… not working!)

Thanks!!

Is you grandparents as weird as mine?




My grandma is really weird! She chases me with an electric wheelchair and hits me with a newspaper. She is a little of her block. My other grandma is a little weird too. She thinks my little sister is annoying, well she is. My grandpa is weird too. He sits in his room all day and sleeps and you can’t wake him up. What a weirdo! Tell me funny things about your grandparents. The funniest one gets the best answer.

If we truly want people of all sorts of disability to participate in sport - then we should add more categories to different sports?
Such as…..
- Electric Wheelchair synchronised swimming
- Wheelchair ski jump (Winter Paralympic games)
- wheelchair steeple chase

Additional comment: Before all you politically correct, ultra sensitive and easily-offended trolls get on your high horses, I work in disability and have many friends who have severe disability and are wheelchair users. We had a good laugh over discussion like this.
There is a BIG difference between making fun of people with disability and having a laugh ABOUT disability.

Reading a great book called "You: the smart patient", and found my PCP (call him Dr G) to be quite inept. While his physicians assistant is normally the one I see, my PCP will be torn away from whatever he does to avoid patients if and when I go into the hospital.
I have decided he is the last person on the face of the Earth for me. No matter what my medical condition when I see him, it is always the same answer. He hands me a 5th generation photocopy of a one page low-fat diet and sends me out. My stepdad (in his 80s) can hardly walk to the street and is constantly on oxygen. He bought an old wheelchair from a neighbor, but barely has strength to push himself. Whe he asked for the doctor’s help in getting an electric wheelchair, the doctor said, oh, medicare won’t pay for one of those for you! You can still walk. He treated this great WWII ex-Marine like dirt. I deicded that was it. I do not want him or anyone he would suggest. Anyone (esp. from the medical field) have suggestions??

wheelchairs/busses (without lifts)?




I am going back and forth with an event organizor. I want to go on a bus trip-I will need to bring a folding electric wheelchair that weighs betweeen 75-100 pounds–It turns out in the last week-they haven’t even called the bus company to ask if they are able to do this-

they just said they don’t think its a good idea as the drivers tend to be old and wouldn’t be able to help lift (with my friend)

Don’t they lift heavy suitcases?

anyway…

i do not know what the bus company is (I just emailed to ask) so I can’t contact them directly.

does anyone have any experience getting a motorized chair on a chartered bus in teh storage area underneath…

Is the opening tall enough to roll the chair up a ramp?
I did get the contatc info-and it shoudln’t be a problem—doesn’t explain why the trip organizer said it woudl be with even contacting the bus company

What to do if girls won't stop chasing me?




I tell them to leave me alone, but they won’t. I hide, but they find me. I can’t run forever and I can’t please everyone because all the others will get jealous. There was even this grandma in an electric wheelchair after me. I only want one girl. Is it my fault that all women think I have a sexy body?

I have a friend who broke his neck jumping from a tree into the creek. He can barley operate the electric control knob on his electric wheelchair. Thank God that America supplys him a wheelchair but he and his little wife have it bad bad bad. Surley there is somewhere I could call and give their names. Some cloths, hotwater heater and a wheel chair ramp out of thier small trailer.
