So, this week we have Tyler and Scott here doing this and that to make our house just presentable enough - roof, wall, and ceiling repair in the family room, new flooring in the downstairs bathroom, and some siding replacement around the new front steps. Being tired of this kind of stuff is one of our big reasons for initiating the move to a retirement community.

Does this mean they take care of all repairs?

Yes, and lawn care and snow removal.

Nice. Would you be in a home, or condo?

Right now we’re on the list for a stand-alone house, but if the right unit became available in the “condo” building we’d consider it. Apparently, though, those are even more in demand than the houses.

Are they one story homes? That would be nice.

Oh, yes, no steps.

Excellent. Vibes the timing of selling and getting your new home is perfect.

It just occurred to me I didn’t tell youze what happened last Tuesday

vixmom · « **Reply #154 on:** April 19, 2023, 05:10:22 PM »

you might recall that back when the pandemic began my Mom decided to take herself to the post office , stepped in a pothole, fell and badly broke her wrist

Jane · « **Reply #155 on:** April 19, 2023, 05:10:57 PM »

I do recall that.

vixmom · « **Reply #156 on:** April 19, 2023, 05:12:42 PM »

My brother and I took shifts, he the day, I the night , and lived with her for 2 months

vixmom · « **Reply #157 on:** April 19, 2023, 05:13:32 PM »

Before we left her on her own again we insisted she get one of those medical emergency medallions you wear around your neck

vixmom · « **Reply #158 on:** April 19, 2023, 05:14:45 PM »

I found out she wasn’t wearing it, just carrying it around and hanging it in a doorknob

vixmom · « **Reply #159 on:** April 19, 2023, 05:15:34 PM »

She kept doing it despite my arguments that if she fell she would not be able to get to it to call for help

vixmom · « **Reply #160 on:** April 19, 2023, 05:16:30 PM »

When WFO had his accident she finally succumbed to my argument and has been faithfully wearing it everywhere

vixmom · « **Reply #161 on:** April 19, 2023, 05:17:05 PM »

On Tuesday she had a 9 am dentist appointment

vixmom · « **Reply #162 on:** April 19, 2023, 05:18:15 PM »

She became concerned that when they took X-rays and put the lead apron on her it would activate the medallion

vixmom · « **Reply #163 on:** April 19, 2023, 05:19:10 PM »

So she took it off, put it in her coat pocket, folded her coat and put it on her rear car seat

vixmom · « **Reply #164 on:** April 19, 2023, 05:19:19 PM »

Then she went to the dentist

vixmom · « **Reply #165 on:** April 19, 2023, 05:20:42 PM »

About 15 minutes after she was sitting in the dentist chair the receptionist came in to ask if everything was ok

vixmom · « **Reply #166 on:** April 19, 2023, 05:21:15 PM »

She explained that emergency services were in my mothers house and were looking for her

vixmom · « **Reply #167 on:** April 19, 2023, 05:21:50 PM »

Apparently when Mom folded her coat she activated the medallion in her pocket

vixmom · « **Reply #168 on:** April 19, 2023, 05:22:12 PM »

The service went into action

vixmom · « **Reply #169 on:** April 19, 2023, 05:22:24 PM »

They called her house…no answer

vixmom · « **Reply #170 on:** April 19, 2023, 05:22:31 PM »

They called me….

Every day when I go to work, I put my phone on my desk for exactly such an emergency

vixmom · « **Reply #173 on:** April 19, 2023, 05:24:38 PM »

Every day but last Tuesday

vixmom · « **Reply #174 on:** April 19, 2023, 05:24:55 PM »

When my phone was in my purse with the ringer turned off

Of course.

vixmom · « **Reply #176 on:** April 19, 2023, 05:25:33 PM »

The service called my brother who lives 30 minutes away and had just gotten home from his night job

vixmom · « **Reply #177 on:** April 19, 2023, 05:26:01 PM »

He called me three times but my phone was still not talking to me

vixmom · « **Reply #178 on:** April 19, 2023, 05:26:41 PM »

So he got in his car and drove to Mom’s.

vixmom · « **Reply #179 on:** April 19, 2023, 05:26:58 PM »

Meanwhile emergency services had been notified
