Wanted equipment for double leg amputee

ASL Member Founding Member Post #11184 Replies closed

Hi My friends husband is in Alicante Hosp having had a double leg amputation. Iam trying to help her find equipment for him when he eventually comes home. Specialised wheelchair etc. Money is tight as it is for everyone and so if anyone knows of anyone who has any equipment they are no longer using please let me know - also does anyone know of any association in the CB that would be able to help out. We already have Help the Aged etc and so what we are looking for is an assoc. that deals in amputees. He is going to need alot of support both mentally and physically when he comes home - he is only 53 - plse let me know via this forum and I will contact you - many thanks x

Souxie why doesn't this lady ask at Paul Cunningham nurses for some advice, they are dealing with these sort of things on a daily basis and I am sure they would be willing to help if they could. There office is behind the main Insurance Office up on Avenue Londres. Or email Susan Reader at [email protected] and she can hopefully put you in touch with the young lady who runs the nursing side of it. I am not saying they can do anything but they may be able to give you names of someone who can!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know the money is tight for the moment, and I don't know the prices.

I also don't know the people in this store, but I have read it's very good selling articles to handicapped.

It's in Torrevieja.

I know a lady in the Urb who can hire out equipment to help disabled people. She also has a pool with hoist equipment. I will try to get her phone number.

Souxie.......the number for the lady in the Urb that might be able to help is 966 795 585, her name is Janice, she is a Christian and her late husband was disabled. She does what she can to help people.

Thanks Maz but this is going to be a permanent thing for the rest of the mans life, and so they arent going to be able to afford to hire equipment they will need to buy.. if she is selling the pool hoist can you find out how much she wants for it - Thanks for answering Maz xx

Souxie, I don't know whether she will want to sell,pool hoist or not, will ask her when I see her. Other suggestion is to try putting a 'needed' advert in the Torrevieja forum where a lot of selling is done privately.
