Where can i rent a wheelchair in miami?


today was my first day of classes at the university of miami. i know no one. i just broke my foot and will have to be on crutches for the majority of the semester. i do not have a car. even though UM has a shuttle, i will still have to walk quite A bit to get to my classes. since having a wheelchair can make it vastly easier to transport my incrdibly heavy book, i was wondering if anyone knew where i could rent a wheelchair in miami. none of the pharmacies have wheelchairs. plus, buying a wheelchair seems impractical since i will only have a cast on for about two months. please, if anyone knows where i can rent a wheelchair, please tell me. be specific. i am new to the coral gables / miami area. and please dont tell me to "just take the bus" bc i have already looked at those sort of options before i even broke my foot. please help me. waiting for several days to several weeks for a pharmacy to order a wheelchair is not an option, since i have to go to six different courses this week.

Go to the "health services" department of the college and tell them your storie, I bet they have a wheelchair you can use available, or just go to a local rental store and rent one its usually quite cheap. Good luck get well.

when i broke my ankle i hated the crutches so much. i had my mom take me to the bone doctor and they gave me a walking boot. if you dont get a wheel chair go to the nearest bone doctor and see if you can have a walking boot.

look in the phone book under rentals of medical equipment,.....
