I hope he has his life alert necklace handy!!!!
@catfish1957 Story about one of those:
After my husband died, the husband of my sister-in-law was afraid I would fall at home so he got one of those things to wear around my neck and put my friend's phone number in there so she would get a call and it would automatically call county emergency dept. - EMTs, Firetruck, cops.
One night, I took it off as I was getting in bed late at night after 12 midnight, and dropped it on the side table. Shortly, my friend called me and I asked her why she was calling. She had been alerted by the emergency thing. I told her I was fine and hung up. I thought it must have also called the emergency stuff and went downstairs, before I got downstairs, there was loud knocking on my door. I opened the door and it was like Christmas, lights everywhere police cars, ambulance, fire truck, etc.
I apologized that the emergency thing had gone off when I dropped it on the table and I would never do that again. All those people were nice, saying they were glad I was okay.
NEVER DROP AN EMERGENCY BUTTON THING ON A TABLE!
