Short term use of a wheelchair
Does anyone know how you would go about getting the short term use of a wheelchair.
My Gran is 90 and not in good health at the moment, she can't shake off a chest infection and I would like to take her for a day out but even a tiny walk leaves her out of breath at the moment.
She would refuse to buy a wheelchair as in her opinion they are for the elderley !!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL so I just wondered if there was somewhere you could hire one or just make very short term use of one.
Thanks in advance.

Thankyou
I will contact her GP and see what they can suggest.
I am taking her for a day at the Seaside, she would never be able to walk along the front hence me wanting a wheelchair, (she is only about 6 stone )
More than happy to pay for one or make a donation, its just a really short term thing as I think this chest thing is the beginning of the end for her and she loves the seaside. I just want her to experience something she loves but in comfort for her before the end of her life. Can't stand the thought of her being stuck in all the time without ever experiencing the sight of the sea again.
Thanks for all suggestions.
