Could he not have hired a scooter when he arrived at the hotel? Just had a look on line, there are countless mobility hire companies in Tulsa, alternatively they could have got a regular wheelchair and his wife could have pushed him. It's a none story really, unless they hadn't got any finances whatsoever having arrived. :squirrel::squirrel:

So if you pull the battery, it can't be pushed? Batteries are an issue I get that, but seems like there could be a workaround.
They must not travel much or they'd have a system for getting him around.
