Need a wheelchair
« on: March 29, 2013, 08:24:12 PM »
Does anyone know where you can borrow or rent a wheel chair?

I am having surgery on my knee again but this type of surgery I wont be able to put any weight on my leg for 6 weeks and I have to keep my leg straight for 6 weeks.

I can get around on crutches but a wheelchair would be great so I can still get around outside of the 5-10 min trips on crutches

Thanks

Rich

try the hospital where your surgery will happen...... hospitals have social workers that may be able to match you up with a community service agency that could help.
Best wishes for fast and productive recovery.

I did the the obvious thing and called my insurance company and they said they will pay for one with a script from the dr.

Some days I have blonde moments LOL

Hey Riche,

If you have any issues with getting a wheel chair through your insurance let me know I can get one for you.

I like the hoover around.  If we get 2 of them, we can race them.
