I had one of these knee scooters following my foot surgery instead of crutches. Insurance even covered the rental as an approved medical device. You'd be amazed how much speed you can pick up on one of those.The doctor won't allow me to walk in the Halloween parade tonight with my softball team... Killjoy!
We rigged up a plastic basket to hang from the handlebars so I could carry things. It folds up to make it easier to transport if needed.
Cool! If I have to get surgery, I will definitely want one of those over crutches. Does it come with an optional V-6?I had one of these knee scooters following my foot surgery instead of crutches.

Oh it wasn't stolen, it's stimulus dollars. But since that is how it fell, maybe you should be forced to be housed in one of the dilapidated schools, instead.Until he hears they now allow internet in prisons. Paid by that money he complains was stolen from education here. Then it will be "Let him rot in there. That's were all those Tea Party types belong anyway."
Not that I know of but my partner did find one on Amazon that had all terrain wheels!Cool! If I have to get surgery, I will definitely want one of those over crutches. Does it come with an optional V-6?
It helped that our house is all on one level so I didn't need to worry about stairs. I had to go 4 weeks of total non weight-bearing on that foot so would have had to deal with crutches, too, otherwise. Still would have gone with the scooter, though. It was great and avoided the complications of the stresses crutches put on the other parts of your body. I'll be getting it when I have the other foot done in December. Maybe by then they'll have one that comes with the basket already attached.
You mean like this?Not that I know of but my partner did find one on Amazon that had all terrain wheels!
Yup. The medical supply place I got it from didn't have any in stock when I needed it but thought they were going to be ordering one or two so will ask when I go back.
I'd a'figured you to be a SS396 400hp V8 with a Powerglide tranny kind of guy...Cool! If I have to get surgery, I will definitely want one of those over crutches. Does it come with an optional V-6?
Black Bear Medical is the closest dealer that carries that model...
Thanks--I'd called them the first time around but they took 2 days to return a phone call as I couldn't get through to a real person. By then I'd already gotten the approval from the insurance, paperwork in place, and arranged for the rental with Coastal Medical Supply. I might give them another chance if Coastal doesn't have the basket ones yet, though.
If they don't let me know. I'll send you one of these...Not that I know of but my partner did find one on Amazon that had all terrain wheels!
Coastal Med Tech on Lexington is listed too, BB was just the closest in terms of miles from you.
My kids have been attending one of those dilapidated schools. We’ve been in need of a new school for over 10 years. Now that the stimulus education money has been squandered on things other than the shovel ready desperately needed project, we finally broke ground on a new school this year... to be paid by our increased school taxes.Oh it wasn't stolen, it's stimulus dollars.

Looks like something my grandpa used a lot...If they don't let me know. I'll send you one of these...
No way... you do know how environmentally friendly conscious I am, right?
Progress at work!! Same thing with my kid's HS. Only the opposite. The lack of tax funding has delayed the project for years, but their magnet program scored so high on race to the top they got federal funding, which was finally matched by the state so they started this summer. It'll be done next summer. That school was overdue by about 20 years or so. But they do have a hell of a football team...
I forgot, the V6 is 3% less polluting. Silly me.No way... you do know how environmentally friendly conscious I am, right?
Congrats on the new school and matching funds. You must have a good governor.

It got a snort from me.
