Do you have a chiropractor you can see?  Spinal alignment problems can actually be corrected and held off indefinitely by such treatments, but a lot of regular MD's still think of them as quacks. 

But I'm walking again, and it's just been a year since I was knocked down by a car and couldn't walk at all.  All treatments wound up being chiropractic, because the pain pills the doc gave me didn't do shit to relieve the pressure on the nerve in my leg...

Wow...Unicorn, your father sounds like a real shitcock.

Jeez....How the fuck does someone get turned down for foodstamps? I've been making more than full-time minimum wage, and I was receiving them up until my job change a couple months ago. I had a long talk with my case worker, who basically told me flat out "the system is broken, it's a bureaucratic hellmaw, you need to supplement anything you get from us with assistance from a private organization, and not tell us about it."

Not sure it that's a viable option for you, but it's worth a try. I've gotten a lot of help from local food pantries.

Zingoleb:
Because the social worker knows my father and thinks he's just a great guy all around and is here to help me, therefore I don't need assistance.

Also, all of the food pantries that were in the area that I knew of closed down after Walmart came in - they're the biggest grocery store in the area now, and they put food in the trash compactor rather than donate it.

There's a private one in town but I don't know anything about it. May look into it. I've also heard there's a physio who's employed by the hospital but does some moonlighting in his home surgery. Usually deals with sports injuries but I've heard good things about him.

Papersatan:
Just spent the morning looking for internships and getting upset, then I ran across this:

Internships Don't Need to Pay as long as You're Rich.

<sigh>

I keep seeing great internships, but they are unpaid, and if I don't get paid this summer I get evicted. We ran through the last of our savings last summer and there is no student aid available for the summer term. 

I need to do an internship to graduate.
