I just called The Scooter Store to see if we could get my dad an electric scooter.  My mom had tried before a few years ago and ran into a road block – one that is still there.   They don’t sell scooters in Alaska (or apparently in Hawaii either) and can’t help us… unless we want to pay up front and then try to collect from Medicare ourselves.

Very disspapointing for dad, but the gal I spoke to was very helpful and while she could not give me any information on other machines of similar quality to theirs, she did help me in finding the numbers for several other companies that I could call to try and get dad a motorized wheelchair.  So I am going to start calling around and see what I can find – hopefully there is one out there that deals in Alaska.
