I am also one of those ladies who carries a purse full things that might be needed. I have my own little medical kit with all types of otc meds that might be needed. I was the go to girl at work when someone didn't feel well.It’s interesting how we all create our own little ‘command center’.
Mine is next to ‘my’ chair, my father’s was always his kitchen table, my mother’s mobile command center was a pouch on her walker.
