Probably. But he helps by throwing all the scraps out the window.

It was common to use it for patients with kidney stones. Back in my
nurses aide days, I'd occasionally get to turn bartender <grin>. I
might add, these were patients who were otherwise healthy and it would
be limited to 1 an hour (ie: you didn't get drunk as thats about the
burnoff rate for a healthy male).

Does that mean if I'm awake 8 hours a day, I can have 16 drinks a day?

Its not a good idea to drink starting out in the morning. You'll be drowsy all day. Unless maybe its Four Loco.

Thank you , Jill.

I just arrived home. I'm still sore all over. I was to take care of
the cats while my wife was visiting her family for Easter. She hadn't
left for 15 minutes when I fell, how I don't know. I was on the floor
and couldn't get up, couldn't reach a phone. So I lay there four days
and nights until she came home and found me, called an ambulense and
off to a rehab I went. This won't happen again, next time she leaves
some neighbor will check on me. This was a horrendous experience,
like a nightmare.

I hope they checked you out for any type of low blood pressure, light stroke,
or anything else they could check to see what caused this fall. That had
to be horrendous laying there and not being able to get up. But WELCOME
HOME!!!

Isn't there an alarm button that people can wear around their neck?
When you press it, some emergency service shows up. Especially used by
single elderly.

Sorry to hear of your ordeal Sheldon. You must have been hurt pretty
badly to be down for 4 days.

I never had much use for people who walk around with a cell phone glued
to their ear but I started carrying one almost 11 years ago when I
developed a heart issue. I figured I would need it in case something
happened.

My mother had a fall in her bathroom of condo one night and could not
reach the phone. She could reach into the vanity and banged on the pipes
and got the attention of her next door neighbour. When she got out of
the hospital we got her one of those medical alert gizmos.

Yes, about $30 a month. The cell phone that he often ridicules would be
nice to have in his pocket too. Mine is on my belt.

Thank you, Jill. I wouldn't wish this experience on my worst enemy.
Will probably be about a month before I'm all healed.

Sheldon, I am really sorry to hear that you had such a dangerous
ordeal. Thankfully you finally got the help you needed. Sheldon,
will you please carry your cell phone in your pocket at all times? I
do just because of the kind of thing that happened to you.
Take care of yourself

That's stupid... when I fell all I was wearing was a tee shirt, no
pockets. What if someone falls in the shower? From now on when I'll
be home alone a neighbor will know to check on me. Two of my
neighbors know where to find a key. And when I'm home alone I never
lock the back slider anyway and my neighbors know that.
Those thingies where you press a button are worthless, by the time
they arrive you could be dead. It's far better to arrange with a
neighbor to check on me. And there's no way to predict when you'll
fall. It's best to inform a neighbor when you'll be home alone.

It's quite likely that they arrive before a neighbour checks on you,
unless you're unconscious. Or unless the neighbour follows you around
all day like a lost puppy.

You had no pants on, just a T shirt? Agree about the shower but if you
have pants on you can have a phone and cover most cases. My phone is in
a holder on my belt. My daughter and son also check on me every day too.

Glad you are back, wishing you a speedy recovery...

Will you be receiving any additional physical therapy...???

Wow, in four days your wife did not even call you? She did not expect a
call from you? You don't need a phone, you need a new wife, one that
cares to check on you.

Glad you survived but not good circumstances. When I travel I call home
every night. When my wife travels, she call home every night.

He could hide an emergency button in his man bun.

Yes, that's an excellent idea for Sheldon to get. Whether a person is single
or married or living with friends or relatives that's an ideal item to have.

I can´t imagine lying alone on the floor in pain for four days without food
or water. Thankfully, you´re alive and back.

At my brother-in-law's memorial service, I talked about his accident that left him paralyzed. He was riding a horse when he got thrown. Back broken, and unable to move, he laid in the field for a day and night and a day. I talked about how he must have seen the starry night and contemplated his life and man's place in the universe. He was later found and lived a life that was probably fuller than most folk's. He was, like his brothers, restless roamers - even though paralyzed.
After the service, my niece said she was wondering what I was talking about since his accident never happened like I described. Ha ha, my wife gave me the wrong story. My niece figured out that I was talking metaphysically and metaphorically. Ha ha, yeah, that's the ticket.

Yes, a cellphone in your pocket or on your belt is an excellent idea.

My father often told us he had had another "trouser pocket
conversation". He had the phone in his pocket and it would call people
due to him moving around.

Butt dialing. I did that a few times - them I learned how to lock my phone.

Same here. She always starts by asking if the dog is okay.

That would be a very long 4 days. Not to mention laying in poo and pee
from the 1st day or two. The house cats were pretty hungry too.

Yes. Glad you're back and healing, Sheldon. Whew! ;-o

Sorry to hear that Sheldon, really scary, get well soon.Old age is not
for cissies.

Get one of those necklets with a button that you can press to call for
help via your landline when the phone is out of reach. Either of you
can wear it when alone in the house and the other is away.

"Someone" used to ask me to hold the phone to the dog's ear so he
could talk to her.

Dogs really like that, btw.

A big oops. The minister who did my uncles funeral has a major
misspeak. Uncle Bill had been in the amry during WWII and had fought
his way across Sicily and Italy. I expected something to be said about
him having been a veteran, but instead of saying that Bill was a veteran
what came out of his mouth was "Bill was a bed wetter.".

Ouch. That made me laugh to the extent that it caused pain at the surgery
site. I thought about if the minister had gone on to say, just for consistency's
sake, that he had wetted his way across Sicily and Italy.

It ranked up there with my other uncle Bill's funeral. Bill was a Scot
who had married my Dad's brother's widow. He was a really nice guy. His
surname was Goldson. His funeral was in a Presbyterian church. The
minister was an idiot. I think that the he thought that the surname was
Jewish and he talked about how "we Scots" have a lot in common with the
Jews and both have a reputation for being good with a penny. Totally
inappropriate.

I was lucky to have two great uncle Bills, and it is strange that the
outstanding memories of their funerals are the idiotic comments made by
the ministers.
