We have the Life Line system thru the local hospital for my 95 year old mom who still lives in an apt by herself. Had it for I guess 5 years maybe more. She hasn't used it before this last 10 mos. when she got down a couple of times and had to be helped up. It's well worth it for the independence along with meals on wheels.
we started out with the life alert through our local hospital. It was less expensive too. My mom complained about them taking too long to answer (probably in her own mind) so we switched to Alert1.Thank you for sharing that info and link Salem. I will be checking it out for sure.
You said that so well Moon, my mom has always been such an independent woman. I will use your words in hopes of getting her "on board" with the idea.
As for the target, the tank gets hot, but not the mods. Loving the Target and hoping for larger capacity in the future!
I am now wondering if there may be an issue with the RX or batts. We get Samsung or lg at the shop I believe. This married trio are green jackets, but Bo has the (better) chocolate jackets and complains of the battery issue as well. I see another mod in his future!
The 26650 kayfun puked out a puddle of juice on his RX and the on board charging feature is toast! Smh
I had to come back when it hit me that Moon said his mom is 95 years old! That is awesome!!!![]()




Lol she's a tough old bird. Unfortunately I think we are probably losing an aunt today.She had a heart attack about the same time as Salem's mom, got some stints. Came home apparently fine then word is she had a stroke day before yesterday then I have word this morning that they are taking her off life support. The generation of the Great Depression and WWII is quickly fading leaving a gap in a certain unquantifiable joy of life and togetherness that we don't seem to have anymore, sad.
Oh, I am so sorry to hear that, MoonMy mom has DNR orders and she would not be placed on life support. She has been extremely tired the last few days and who knows if she is taking the meds that the doc said is mandatory. Plus, she is smoking like a fiend. I feel sure that the doc was saying that there is not much that they can do for her. The condition of her heart and unwillingness to take statins really limits what the medical field can do to help.
:The largest review of statin safety ever done has concluded that overall benefits of the cholesterol-lowering drugs outweigh potential risks.
For the study, Huseyin Naci, MHS at the London School of Economics and Political Science in London and other investigators included 100 studies and nearly 250,000 patients in their review. In comparing years of clinical research on seven statin cholesterol-lowering drugs, they found that side effects are not common among those taking statins to heart disease, and that

I was going to ask , Why on earth won't she take statins? I was on them for a few years big ones 80mg lipitor, I had more than one Doc tell me even healthy people probably should take them.

Agreed Moon. I was thinking the same not long ago. I so loved when I was a kid being in my Yiayia's (grandmother) backyard after dinner, eating baklava and other pastries listening to the adults telling stories.
