Ed - I think of you often, and the challenges you’ve faced after recently losing your wife -soulmate, coach, motivator, researcher, and half of your housekeeping & well-being. Like you said, a lot of things worse than PN 😪. I’m hoping your cooking lessons are going ok, because I think good nutrition helps us. I have no doubt you “Keep Moving” -you probably are being forced to do more than ever. I’m just wondering, have you considered one of those systems that knows when you’ve fallen and need help? I used to see them advertised a lot, but really don’t know much about them. Hugs 🙂

@dbeshears1 Hi Debbie - My wife did all cooking and with the help of my adult kids, I've been able to learn how put a few things together without blowing up the kitchen. I also learned that you need to put holes in potatoes before putting them in the microwave. So, things are coming along. I am far from my own how to cook TV show, but I am slowly learning. As far as falling, my oldest daughter suggested (actually insisted) that I get a fall detection device that a I wear like a watch. It looks like a watch. It detects falls and if I don't respond by pressing a button in the middle, it will notify a monitoring company who will then reach out to my family members and local police. There is a low monthly cost. I've had no falls but have set it off a few times with a quick motion. If I press the button within so many seconds, it does not notify the company. It also monitors where I am and works thru the cell phone system. No home monitor device involved so traveling is easy. It works no matter what state I'm in. Glad I have it and yes, I do keep moving the best I can. Stay well. Ed
