It sounds like a very trying time for you on a number of levels. You have my sympathies. I broke my foot last year, but I also live in a country with an easier healthcare system and reliable public transportation. I hope you're managing your new situation okay.
My first inclination was to split the issues you'd like prayers about (your toe troubles and the other issues) into two different prayers, but a quick divination suggests quite strongly that you are better off keeping them as a single request, as you've suggested. I wonder if there might be any deeper connection between the healing of your toes and that of your more longstanding problems. Regardless, I'll put it up as a single prayer. As always, do feel free to let me know if there is anything you'd like reworded.
I'm not a doctor and your situation is your own, but I'll just say that I experienced a hitch in my healing process wherein even after my foot was, according to my x-rays, sufficiently healed that I no longer needed medical attention, still I was experiencing pain and walking with a limp, and even experiencing discomfort in other parts of my body as a result. I visited an osteopath and he told me to make sure to walk with good form even though I found it painful. This turned out to be the best advice; walking well and in a balanced fashion made all of my movements more forceful, and not just in the feet and legs. And soon enough the pain disappeared. It occurs to me now that there may have been a lesson in this experience that extends beyond mere physical healing.
