I can't tell you how shit it made all of us feel. Ultimately it is and was her choice, but I'm on her ass every day now to wear it. We don't care about the false alarms (they do happen) but I'd rather 400 of them than that phone call from her neighbours again.
At least my mum has the brains to wear it and she even said it gives her security and the ability to get out and about, and all she has to do is push a button for help.
It's much gentler than some of the medicine alternatives. A glass every day, skip a day if it gets too loose but it doesn't often get that way because it's not at all harsh.
Please have her get a full check up. Falls are a symptom of something else going on 99% of the time. My mum reluctantly agreed to wear a Live Life alarm around 18 months ago, and she wears it daily. I can check her location, and when she fell while out at a bbq Saturday night it alerted me and my brother. We had a quick chat with her through the pendant, and all was good. My MIL on the other hand refuses to wear hers, and spent a night outside after a fall. ETA: if she's accessed My Aged Care, she might be able to get one for no cost through a program called GEAT to Go.
You need a glass of pear juice every day.
As someone who transitioned from public holiday pay to an office based role that gives me the day off.... I miss the extra $$. It was a nice little boost.
The Reject Shop has some good packaging options. I use these bags to wrap individual home made Christmas puddings. Cut up a paper plate disc at the bottom for stability, pudding on top and tie with some christmas ribbon. reject shop bags
Nope. Get to battle the traffic now and every weekend now till Easter to do my job. And live.
It's just as bad on the way towards Phillip Island.
That just sent me back to POP at metro on Saturday nights.
I have no idea who is even running!
