thanks so much for your replies. It really does help to know that you all are out there... I am still alone, and am unsure if a patient first would help with an x-ray...I have had an x-ray done there before....maybe I will wait for b/f to get home some time tonite and he can take me...my jeep is in the shop-his son got into an accident the 2nd time he drove it....I have been without my jeep for about 3 weeks...this is making me claustrophic being stuck in the house, dependent on others, waiting around, not being able to do on my own, and the depression and BPD are hitting me so hard right now....diabetes is wacked because of pain, and the pain pills don't even begin to cut it....thanks for being there and understanding. Its nice to know someone out there cares....thanks so much...so hard to type between tears...take care y'all!!!
