| - I found the EZ Medical Store online after my parents confirmed they'd be visiting, and I knew I'd need a wheelchair for my Dad. Located conveniently near Hwy 60 and Cooper Road, it is in a small industrial building across the street from a nice shopping complex. I was relieved to learn that EZ Medical Store offers medical equipment for rent or purchase, and that the rental fees for a wheelchair were convenient and reasonable ($35 for a week).
Even better, they had so many wheelchairs in stock that it was not even necessary for me to reserve a wheelchair in advance. The first time I rented a wheelchair, I walked into the Store, provided my personal information and credit card, and walked out with a wheelchair. One of the helpful attendants showed me how to open and close the wheelchair for storage, and then carried the wheelchair out to my car for me and placed it into the car (THANK YOU!).
I was happy enough with the service to rent from them a second time, and this time, one of the managers suggested a scooter rental instead of a wheelchair and so I took home a scooter instead.
At first, I had been concerned that there would be no way I could get a scooter into my small car, but the manager showed me how easy it was to take apart, and how difficult to break (Ms. Fumbly Fingers here.). He showed me how to use it, and then with his guidance I took it apart and put it into the trunk of my car (small Toyota) myself so I'd remember how to break it down for transport.
The real win, the real reason I went to Easy Medical Store made itself apparent when I surprised my Dad with a scooter instead of a wheelchair. His eyes literally lit up, and the next day, he asked if he could take the scooter for a spin outside, and spend time outside walking with our family. What a huge relief. He proceeded to use the scooter nearly every day, which was a relief to our family. Seeing him active, feeling empowered driving a scooter instead of a wheelchair, and having him get some sun on his face for a couple of days was very important for all of us.
Had it not been for Easy Medical Store, I would never have considered a scooter, because I thought it would be too big and too expensive for us to manage. But, it made a big difference for my Dad and my family. You can't buy moments like that - Thanks Easy Medical Store.
