Janet, My friend. I hear your concerns. I also live alone and wonder the same things everyday when I am in an "off" state. I do own a wheelchair. It helps. Since leaving my non-supportive, uncaring husband I now live in apartments equipped for the disabled. They have installed a ramp for me as well. They have told me not to even change a ligh bulb. I have a neighbor that knows if she hears me banging on the wall that I am in trouble and that she needs to call for help. It is a good plan "just in case" . I know how important it is for us to be independent. It has helped me to remain so by planning ahead. Also, if there comes a time that I need a live-in caregiver, my apartment owners will have to give me a two bedroom for that reason. I wish you all the best Janet. I know feeling capable and safe means to us. Much hope...Sandy Sandy Norris www.plwp.org http://www.plwp.org/sandys_parkie_porch.htm The joy of the Lord is my strength.
