I saw your comment over at Margaret's ...Retta,<br /><br />I saw your comment over at Margaret's blog and followed your link here. I'm so glad I did!<br /><br />For goodness sakes!<br /><br />I hope by now that you have a rental chair, if nt, one should be available to you with a few...maybe many...phone calls.<br /><br />I hesitate t give you a list of things to do wince it's likely that you've already done them, but...just in case... here are some things I'd try from here. (Oregon may have many other resources.)<br /><br />Those people who shrugged...I'd really like to give them a piece ofmy mind, but I have so few pieces left...<br /><br />Sorry.<br /><br />First, contact either the medical equipment company from which you got your power chair or the place that is repairing your (Usually the same company, just different departments.)and ask them if they have a loaner. (Surely, this has already been worked out for you! If not, I'm appalled.)<br /><br />If you don't know the name of the company--and I assume your chair is not with you to look on--call the shruggers and ask them where your chair was purchased and where the chair was being repaired. And ask them about a loaner while you're at it.<br /><br />If those calls come up empty, there are medical equipment "closets" set up for just such occasions by various charities of health clinics. You may be able to find them in those blue pages in the phone book that lists social services.<br /><br />If not, call the hospital your hubby works at and ask to speak to social services/social worker/discharge planner (whatever that department is called there). The person in the hospital who is responsible for discharge planning will be able to give you the information you need to get that loaner. They have lists of names and phone numbers for just such an occasion.<br /><br />I do hope you didn't need any of this information!<br /><br />Prayers,<br /><br />Deb<br /><br />Deb Willbefreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17333025661115475404noreply@blogger.com
