Question
Rockhound
I'm just received an appointment date for a interagency concult I had requested, since I have personal issues with the local ENT specialist They have in essense, have given me only three, maybe four business days to arrange transportation to and from this other VA hospital, that is about a three hour drive away.
If I take a Bus and or Train, I will have to arrange for a place to stay, due to the time of the scheduled appointment. Appointment being a week from this Monday on the 12 Aug. at 10:00 a.m.
I have received no word if transportation is going to be furnished, given I do not drive and I need the use of my electric wheelchair away from home, plus the need fo Oxygen at night when I sleep. The other VA hospital does not have a Hospitality house in which I could stay, would have to arrange local motel room and besides my wheelchair, I would have to arrange transport of my Oxygen concentrator machine, since bottled Oxygen would be impractical and against bus and train regulations for the number of bottles I would have to take.
I am at a loss as what to do, besides transportation dept., to see what might be arranged. Who would I see to make sure If I qualify for mileage should I have to provide my own transportation?
This is all new to me and I don't know what I am supposed to do.
