Not with the broken feet. I spent 3-4 months immobile the winter before, for another reason. For some reason, when I break bones, it never shows up on X-rays until like a month or more later. So, I had to walk on them. I could literally feel the bones in my left foot move when I stepped down on it. I had a small child. Doing nothing was not an option. Her Dad had died in 2002 so I was a single Mom by then. I did have a car though. And I had a borrowed electric wheelchair to move around in my home with. When I got to WA, and finally into pain management, they didn't even check what was putting me into so much pain. So, when I was referred to a foot surgeon, he of course did xrays, and boy was he mad (at my doctors). He gave me orders to tell them he wanted one of my doctors at PM to call him, that day. He insisted I do that. So, I did. And everyone was real good to me there, from then on. The good doctors do shine, don't they?
