 |
|
Are there two fit men near Bordeaux able to help us with a once-only problem? Our 21-year-old son was knocked down in a hit-and-run incident 6 weeks ago and has been in the Pellegrin Hospital since. His bones are mending and he is out of a coma, but weakened and unable to walk. We need to get him home and expect the doctors to sign him off as fit to fly on or soon after 6 November. We just need to get him to Bordeaux Airport, where ground attendants will take over. So it is just a question of lifting him, all 6 ft-plus of him, from a wheelchair at the hospital, into a car or people carrier, and driving him with my wife, who has been with him all this time, to the airport. We'll gladly refund fuel costs. We'd use a private ambulance but the lad had inadvertently let his travel insurance expire. Please ring me, James Darley, on 020 7939 7979 (office), 01494 484414 (home) or my wife Crissy on 07906 218783.

Hi!
Quite a sad story. My parents live in Pessac which is near Bordeaux. I can't suggest that they will be able to lift your son like you want but have you thought about a private taxi? or ask a porter at the hospital to help?

| Thanks mumu. We have thought about these options. But we need two pairs of strong arms, both at the hospital and the airport, and the ideal would be kind and willing helpers so that no bureaucratic issues of H&S or jobsworth would intercede. British phlegm and can-do is what we need!
