She is very proud and doesn't want a care giver but what if she falls and can't get up and what happens if she doesn't take her blood pressure meds? I was visiting her every day but I have a job and a family so I don't have the time. That is when I decided to buy her an SVC tracfone to keep on her at all times. I now call her every day and if she were to fall in the bathroom or while gardening then she can call me right away. <br /><br />I gave her a pill dispenser which we fill every two weeks and she can easily take her morning and evening pills without getting confused. I ask about the pills almost every day when I call and she doesn't feel so lonely when I keep in touch. The cell phone has been a great help.Tina Garrnoreply@blogger.com
