See below: I understand not wanting to risk going out in a hurricane but if you are injured that bad you need to be seen by a doctor. You could call 911. Wrap the foot in a compression bandage and elevate the foot and ankle. Use ice on it.

Hurricane anxiety: I feel your distress Yes, seeing a doctor for Diagnosis and Treatment is important. It seems that your parents are worried due to Hurricane. Have heart to Heart talk with your parents about feelings and needs of each other. Talk to your physician about your condition and follow the recommendations. See the Physician when Government officials have given clearance to leave home.
