I'll second what Ed says about these devices. Mell, my partner, who died last year, was the one who insisted I get one. At the time, she was facing what sounded like never-ending chemo sessions; in other words, hours when she'd be away from home and I'd be home alone. Well, now I really am home alone, and I wear my medi-alert wristwatch every day. Like Ed, I've only set it off two times, both times by accident. The first time, I knew Id set it off and was able to assure the ChatBot voice (who called in a split second!) that I was okay. The other time I'd set it off I didn't know I had and somehow hadn't heard the ChatBot voice asking if I was okay. A minute or two passed when my phone started to ring. My first thought? Another sales pitch! When it rang for the third time I thought I'd better answer. I'm glad I did! It was Denver EMT Services calling: a 'real"––and genuinely concerned person wanting to know if I needed help. I said no and apologized for their having to call. (I'm doubly glad I answered my phone. If I hadn't, the next event would have been the arrival of fireman, axes in hand, ready yo smash down my door. 🙂 ) I mentioned all this as a salute to these med-alert devices. They really work! ––Ray
