Sorry to hear you've been 'living...Hi Dave<br /><br />Sorry to hear you've been 'living in interesting times' as Terry Pratchett says. Unsolicited advice ahoy - please ignore if it's not helpful to you, but perhaps it will help some of your other readers?<br /><br />I'm in the UK and I have a lifeline - a unit on the wall in the hall, plumbed into the landline phone, that links to a button on my wrist. It's provided by and monitored by the local council. So if I have an emergency when by myself, I can press the button, speak to someone or if they can't hear me they will call my emergency contact (husband). When we're on holiday at holiday cottages (pre-covid), obvs I can't take my lifeline with me! So then I have a cheap kids smart watch with an SOS button, which again calls my husband if he's out by himself and I need help. I have this one https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B078W5DFL6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1<br /><br />I decided that having a phone wasn't a good enough answer because I could drop it, or if it was in the armrest bag on my wheelchair and I fell out I couldn't reach it. I also know that if I'm stressed out/having a brain fog day, I'm not necessarily going to remember the steps to use a mobile phone. But it's a lot easier just to press one button on my wrist and something really very serious must have happened for me to not have my own arm with me!<br /><br />I hope this is helpful<br />JenniJennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664877102519401075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-12169864420072103602020-09-12T07:40:14.859-04:002020-09-12T07:40:14.859-04:00Thinking of you.
