Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida

Disabled and writ of bodily attachment for judgment
I am disabled, bedridden, my only income is food stamps and SSI. My only asset is an exempt home, owned with a relative. For two years a creditor has been trying to collect a $2500 judgment. With a great struggle I paid it down to $1100. Because of my severe illnesses I can no longer pay. My car was repossessed and I have been selling my furniture and other possessions to subsist. I saved my home from foreclosure with the help of Legal Aid. The creditor has run the debt back up to $3000 through litigation and now has obtained a writ of bodily attachment against me because I have been too ill to give a deposition. I filed a motion with the court for a written interrogatory and attached a notorized affidavit of my finances. I haven't heard anything. What usually happens in these cases? If I am too ill to give a deposition, and since I am bedridden, when they arrest me will I be sent to the jail's hospital facility?
