Living with PN, do you find yourself retreating from life?

@dbeshears1 Hi, Debbie -
Gosh, it's good to have our paths cross again! I took a several-week hiatus around the holidays and then got a new OS which is driving me bonkers. A few years ago, my youngest son put a door lock with code on my front door for the same reasons you and Ray (@ray666) did, with one additional reason. If the electricity would go off while I am out for an appointment, etc., I can't operate the garage door opener. Then, of course I can't get into the walk-in door in back of the garage without its special key, which I don't carry with me. Four years ago when I fell and broke my hip, I was able to give the code to the dispatcher. Back home several weeks later, my kids wanted me to look into a device with GPS, and that was when I got my wearable monitor. So grateful for these wireless wonders! Prayers for your safety, Debbie! ~Barb

Hi, Barb. Dook locks, special keys, garage door openers – oh, my! 🙂 I'm reminded of my childhood in the Bronx. My mom and dad were super-security conscious. Back then (in the Cenozoic?) we didn't have any such sophisticated lock-up devices. My mom and dad had a series of bolt locks on our door. Every night I'd hear the clack, clunk, ka-chink, click as they went through locking the locks, one by one. I was spoiled by moving out here, to a quiet mountain town. At first, it was a surprise to see how neighbors went about: leaving their bicycles and/or x-country skis propped up outside of shops, unlocked, just standing there; and to learn that at home hardly anyone locked their front doors. Even though I now live in a metropolitan area, I still often go off on errands, forgetting to lock my front door. It's a leftover forgetfulness of living in a sleepy mountain town. 🙂 –Ray
