He made me walk to school, and going to my first 3 classes were NOT fun since they were all at opposite ends of campus. Eventually, after almost passing out I went to the school nurse who said I should "probably have it x-rayed." DUH!! So she called my dad in his office (yes, he worked at my school) and he drove me to the hospital. I ended up having an "oblique fracture of the 5th metatarsal" or a fractured little toe... And I wound up with a cast up to my knee to keep it immobilised.... for 9 weeks!! Trust me... you need to go get it looked at. It may just be a sprain, but if it's something worse you need to ensure that it gets treated and set right and taken care of properly or it may not heal correctly.

Good luck and keep pestering to go to the ER!
Ouch.. She just says she can't afford the ER bill though.. because it'd be around $1000 +.. but she'd like to take me, yet she won't.. =/
