Ed Kennell 46,776 #4 Posted 11 hours ago Medical Equipment is always for sale at the local auction for cheap. Most of it is bought thru Medicare and when the patient no longer needs it, it is sold at the auction for a few $s. I have bought wheel chairs, knee scooters, walkers, canes, crutches, shower seats, toilet risers, electric lift recliner chairs, etc. Mrs K has used most of it for back and foot fusion surgery and her knees are now on the schedule this fall. When needed, family and friends know where they can get it. The Knee scooter is loaned out quite a bit. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm visiting my son in Monson, Ma at the end of the month and it's an hour and change from there. BTW, thanks for that! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 23,776 #7 Posted 7 hours ago It's amazing how much medical equipment we acquire as we get older!!! I seem to be amassing a cane colection...including a Diamond Willow from the Upper Penninsula in Michigan. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Our church has a medical equipment loan ministry and we collect all kinds of usable equipment and loan it to anyone in the community that needs it. They are under no obligation to return it as long as they need it and there is no charge. Every item is sterilized and wrapped when returned, we have a dishwasher type appliance that will hold a wheel chair. Hospital beds and power wheel chairs have to be cleaned by hand. We have fostered loan ministries in other communities and give them any excess equipment we have accumulated. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
