On our last trip in July, we were at the Poly one evening to watch Wishes. We'd gotten their early to check out the resort as we're contemplating staying there in December. While walking outside on the sidewalk back towards the resort, I tripped (my croc sandal slid into a crack in the sidewalk) and scrapped up my hands and knees. The couple that saw me fall walked back into the resort with us. I, visably bleeding and hobbling as my ankle was hurting from twisting it (I kind of fell sideways instead of straight down), asked two CMs if they had a first aid kit or ice or anything. One went off "into the sunset" never to be seen again and the other flat out told me they didn't have one. The couple that walked in with us (saw the fall) also each asked someone for help with no one ever coming back. I went into the bathroom and cleaned myself up and hobbled around the resort a little bit more feeling a lot like Eeyore at this point - just pretty gloomy and a little miffed that not one CM offered to help! We watched Wishes and my ankle was a bit visably swollen (DH is an EMT and determined that he didn't think anything was broken and I honestly didn't either). The next day it seemed better - still sore but I expected that. I wasn't really able to turn my foot from side to side without some pain, but again expected that.
Well, here we are six weeks later and my foot STILL hurts every day. I cannot twist my foot without pain and some days, like today, it hurts while I'm just sitting here. My doctor unexpectedly quit practicing (that's another "issue" in and of itself) and several of my co-workers (all trained medical professionals) don't think anything's broken - it's a bad sprain or something was really pulled when I fell which makes sense. Should I go to the doctor at this point? I guess yes I'd like to know what happened but hate to pay for the x-rays when it's really nothing. Also, I haven't written Disney yet simply because I was still too upset to write anything to them and the week following the trip we were in MI for a wedding. Now that things have calmed down a bit, I'm ready to try and contact them but I'm thinking it's worthless at this point. I'm not expecting anything - I only want to make them aware of the situation simply so this doesn't happen to someone else.
So, do I contact Disney or just suck it up at this point? It's honestly affected how excited I am to stay at the Poly in Dec for sure - both the upkeep of the property and the conduct of the staff.
TIA for any helpful advice you could share.
