Are there any establishments that rent equipment such as wheelchair power 
packs, or electric wheelchairs?  *adh*

        I rented a powerchair from Abbey Medical in Chicago for a 
week while I was attending a convention there.  In Houston, I 
arranged to buy a set of batteries and then shipped them home by 
frieght.  Contact your local rental agent and see what contacts 
he has in other cities.
