[Ponostyle]

This has been one hell of a good thread, so good I saved it all. I’m going to swipe all the ideas for my blog. I’ll post the link when I finish.

However, the 10 on 10 pain kinda took over and I totally forgot it and hopped/limped/crawled to the house (after probably 5 minutes on the floor)  to get the spouse because I didn't even think of it. She thought I was having The Big One for a few seconds until I managed to blurt out what had happened.

> Hi John, we got one for my 97yr mother in law who lives next door. They work, she fat fingered the call button one morning while putting it on (bracelet model). I was making coffee, looked out the window and saw two cops pounding on her door (she's about a deaf as you can get). I went over, cleared things up but now she's afraid to put it on again. I installed a couple of phones on each level of her house directly on the floor. She's fallen, and can't get up  (cliche but true) but can make her way to the floor phones and call us for help.
