Help! Miami area CPAP DMEs open on Saturday or Sunday?

Post by kennethryan » Sat Dec 22, 2012 9:58 am

So I am currently on a train on my way to Orlando, at which point I will be driving to Miami and tomorrow boarding a cruise ship. Unfortunatley I left he power brick to my S9 at home.

Does anyone know of a DME in Miami open Saturday who might be able to deliver to my hotel?

I tried several online dirctories, including the find-a-provider feature of this forum, but literally every single phone number in the list is either disconnected or reaches someone else.

Failng this, anyone have advice for coping with a week without my cpap?

Whew. My sister in law came through for me, she found a place open today and is making a side trip to pick up a brick for me (she is going on the same cruise).

Thanks everyone for your suggestions!

If I lived in Orlando, I'd sell you my spare, and buy it back on your return.
I'm glad your relative came through!
