I only care because of my dogs. I did the free snug safe app daily for months but it was a pain remembering to check in and when my internet was out for 5 days I had to call daily so finally got rid of it.lo..but then you wouldn't care ...
Oh I feel your pain with regard the dogs.. yes that would be a worry for me too if I had any.
In Maricopa county AZ the Sheriff's office runs the R.U.O.K. program. You sign up and they call you every day at the time that you specify. If you don't answer, someone is dispatched to find out why.
I was told by a Deputy that when someone is deceased for a time that flies will collect around the windows on the outside.
That was how our family found out that my grandma was very sick. Mrs. Jones loved grandma and had been good neighbors for many years. So she called my uncle and off to the hospital with grandma, she had cancer. The dr assured us that her kind of cancer would not be terribly painful, so glad to hear that! Lost her within the year, she was 85.
We did that with my MIL when I was married. If she did not call and leave a message by dinner time, we called her. No answser? We drove over to her place which fortunately was nearby
That concerns me, also. I have Echo devices around the house. It's wonderful to play music, read books and I can shout to it to get me help should I need it.
Me too. I have a precious 14-year old Yorkie female, Lexi. I used to walk her all the time & we both loved it. At this point, I have some chronic medical problems and haven't been able to walk her for months but I do take her for rides...helps but not the same. I am blessed to have a friend who has cared for her when I'm hospitalized. They are good loving people who have a Bischon, Buffy. They get along wonderfully & both are about the same age. They will take loving care of her when I'm gone. However, I do worry about dying at home & Lexi terrified and alone for hours or days...that would be heart-breaking!
Up until about a year ago, altogether I've tripped and fallen 3 times but got myself up. Carpet trip, I fell flat on my fat stomach first, which cushioned my fall, prevented injury. Second trip on a carpet, as I went down, I pushed with my right foot and propelled myself safely into my couch. No injury. Last fall when I tripped and fell, I blurted out, God help me! louder than I thought--I meant God help me get up by myself. (I was wearing only a flimsy P J top.) Neighbor upstairs heard me, didn't know I was able to get myself up, called Landlord who arrived in a hurry, (to my embarrassment, I was in the bathroom when he came in.) Convinced him I was fine & he left. If I ever fall again, I'll keep my mouth shut.
Good for you Katlupe: I also phone someone every morning at 8:00 AM. If the lady does not answer my text, I wait until 10:00 AM and then give her a "real" phone call. If she still does not answer, I jump in my car and drive across the city (1/2 hour) to her place to see what is happening.
I'm a big fan of Dove soap but I must admit that you're right about that: it does dissolve too fast.
Pain and disablement. I am an independent person and I don't want to be helpless.
This is true. So what is the practical answer? Maybe a less lathery soap.
What frightens me is not having someone around when you need them for any reason big or small.
