I scanned these but didn't see one comment I expected to see .. may be in the communications somewhere -- different people may want different support. Or, different support at different times. Admittedly this next part should likely be put in the Need A Laugh section. I had major foot surgery relatively recently -- thinking "gee, how bad could a foot be?" I had no idea... they gave me a couple of strong Rx for taking at first which I knew would be powerful but I didn't know they had to cut a main nerve and also gave me a nerve block per what was going to be the pain. I live alone so a neighbor and I agreed I would call her morning, noon and night ..if I missed one call she or her husband would come check on me. Day two I didn't feel that bad was surprised but not knowing ever thing -- piece of cake. The AM call went fine, noon went fine but that evening my iphone wasn't working. I hate them anyway so mentally was thinking profane thoughts about the thing including that the phone buttons weren't even working . Keep in mind per the Rx my brain wasn't totally in gear. I then realized iphones don't have buttons. I was "dialing" the TV remote. Case in point: we may also need support we don't know we do at various times.

Sounds like you need another person with you at ALL medication times!
I DID!
Especially helpful so you don't miss a dose or to avoid double dosing.

Maybe you were using a remote control when the iPhone didn't respond.

Was your garage door going up and down during that time?
