Continued vibes to Cilla!
32 showed up for the movie. Then we had a fire alarm go off and to evacuate. Strange evening.
One last thing, we will now have all sorts of technology so if mom falls, three people will receive texts and she'll be able to push the help button, so hopefully it's covered. She's having PT now and is getting stronger so that should help too. She had pretty much quit exercising before this happened and was unsteady even with her walker.

There was one customer and one employee in masks, no one else is wearing them. The other stores I've been to are the same. Our numbers aren't zero, but much better than they were. At the resort area where I used to live, they opened big on Memorial Day and acted like they were immune. They have a lot of cases for the size of the area and have now closed the amusement park and museums. The stores here all have signs requiring masks I have not yet seen anyone arguing about it. Of course living so close to NYC and knowing the death toll there is probably influential compliance

I’m looking into alert systems now for my mom. The one that seems most useful is called Medical Alert. It’s about $500 a year if you pay upfront and my mom is balking at the price. I’ve pointed out it’s less a weeks salary for a part time aide...We’ll see

My sister in law spent days researching all the companies and the product in depth and ended up picking one that had the fewest complaints and the best contract that you can get out of if you don't need it at some point. I guess some of them you can't get out of the contract even if you don't need it any more.
