Where can I rent a wheelchair?

For short-term use.

I'm going to the Wilco concert on Friday night, and it's general admission. Between my achilles tendons and my toenails, I can barely walk, much less stand for hours on end (and Wilco's concerts are long. Last time they played for nearly 3 hours, and that doesn't count the opening act).

So I was thinking I'd just bring my own chair! The only problem is, I have no idea where to find my own chair. Maybe a medical supply store? I know there's one down the road. Is that my best bet?

Try the Red Cross or a local hospital.

I'd go with medical supplies or a hospital perhaps. Or ask your doctor.

A few months after my dad's first stroke, we went to the State fair, and the Alamo. He could normally walk at that time, very slowly and with a limp, at home he used a cane. On a trip like that, obviously he needed a chair...we called the theme park, and they referred us to several places, and they were very reasonable. This was in 2001, and I'm thinking it was about 25.00 a day. There was a deposit, but I believe it was waived since I put it on a credit card. Hope that helps, and that you feel better!
