After reading Norbert’s post, one of the members of the forum asked how I coped with stress brought on by living alone. One of the answers to this question is my Medalert system. I wear an alarm button around my neck (the button can and should be worn in the bath or shower). Pressing the button sends a signal to someone at Medalert and the EMT person on duty asks whether I need help or not and responds accordingly.
The reason I started using this system is a fall which kept me on the floor crying for help for over 24 hours.

Marge
P.S. I am not affiliated with the system in any way.
