What about Me?

@methel Your situation of feeling, and being, so alone, prompted me to get a ‘fall devise.’ Several companies sell them and monitor them. Mine is from Guardian Medical and they have been helpful. I just googled “fall monitor” or something like that.
Do you think you could look it up just for information?

Thank you for your concern, but actually, I now wear an alarm pendant around my neck. It was that incident that prompted me to get the device. This pendant was a large part of the backup plans that I realized I had to have.

You know bec, that's a good idea. H is having more and more problems walking and I have balance issues so we at least one of us needs one.
The last time I fell he couldn't help me. Luckily I am still somewhat agile enough to crawl and skoot to the bed where I was able to position my good leg to help me pull myself to the top of the bed.
I think he should wear it as if I fall, he can't do anything for me. If he falls, I can still call for help, if needed or get the cinch belt out to help pull him up. Just thinking out loud here.
