Wheelchair

    Hi all, my mother fell down the stairs of her house last night and broke her ankle. She has back problems as it is and has to wait until Thursday to get a fibreglass cast on it and is finding it really hard to get around the house. So I was wondering if anyone would have a loan of a wheelchair until Thursday or would anyone know where I could get a loan of one?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks :)

    I broke my ankle a few years back and couldn't manage on crutches. A friend told me that the HSE on the Cork Road provide the free loan of wheelchairs but you must go through your public health nurse.

    I phoned the PHN and got a loan of a wheelchair. It was very straightforward. My husband collected it and there was a room full of them in different sizes.

    Hi jluv, my mother rang the Public Health Nurse today and she said she'd try to get her one tomorrow but if that falls through I'll let you know, thanks so much for the offer :)
