Hi all
Just a quick question. Where can you hire wheel chairs to have a period of time?? I am having very major foot surgery in 6ish weeks time and won't be able to weightbare at all for three months.
Thanks

The Red Cross near youThe happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.
If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.0 -

Occupational Health may also be able to help you with equipment round the house. Best to have things in place before the surgery.0

Yes, you can self refer or get your gp or consultant to refer you. They are usually very helpful.0

Hi Pink
I did contact the red cross, and they were very helpful, but after checking the price of hiring I decided to buy a cheap one, has I need one for much longer than the 6 weeks they were offering.
I do hope you get sorted.Love

Hi
Our Red Cross dont charge.....they just ask for a donation.
But if you can find a cheap one go ahead.
Good luck with your search
Love
