Default I am so screwed

I just twisted my ankle real bad and I'm leaving for SEMA on Sunday.
How am I going to walk through the convention center now. I might have to rent one of those little scooters.
I'll probably be going to the doctor and see if there is any serious damage.
This Sucks. I was so excited to go to SEMA and now I'm a little concerned.
This would be my 7 or 8th time to SEMA.

Scooter, wheel chair, crutches (but that would suck)

Sorry to hear about the injury and I hope you are ok. But one of the electric scooters would solve all your troubles and give you a great way to carry all of the handouts of new products (brochures) you are sure to collect. Now you don't have to hand carry those all over the place! See. there is a silver lining after all!

Actually -- My buddy rented a scooter for the '07 Sema show -- and it was easy for him - and handy as hell for me. We'd meet up - Chevrolet booth - and I'd dump all the crap I'd collected in his handy dandy little basket!! Saved my hands and I could collect 3 X's as much garbage liner!!

If you do have to rent a scooter, a word of advice......make sure it's fully charged every night and keep the charging cable with you. We've taken my mother in law to Vegas twice now. She's 77 and uses a scooter. If there is any carpet that you'll be riding on, it drains the battery very quickly. She has a small scooter and one of the days when she decided not to charge it overnight, even though I told her to, we had to stop a few times just to let it charge for an hour here and and hour there. Just a word of advice to make a scooter experience even less stressful.
