Evelyn, I quite agree. Below is the message I sent to Vee early this morning. ~Leslie Kohler~ ````````````````````` Hi Vee, I hope you were able to get back to sleep. But, if not, please know that I'm wide awake too. Oops. Now that I look at the clock, you may already be awake for the new day. While it is only 3:45 am here in Phoenix, it is 6:45 am in NY state. Your 'alarm' system obviously works very well, and the police office is right. It is good to know that it works. But, gees, what a frustrating way to be awakened. :-) BTW, I actually live in Glendale, Arizona, not Phoenix. But, most people don't know Glendale, so its easier to just say, "Phoenix". Glendale is its own city of about 250,000 people. It butts right up against Phoenix.

It might have been embarrassing to me but I believe that everyone involved was glad I was OK. But gee, if they only would have given me a heads up, I could have put on a robe and brushed my hair! But there's more to the story. It was probably around 3:00 by the time I got back to sleep and I slept soundly. However at around 9:00 a.m. I heard a man call my name from afar, "Vee, Vee." I had been sound asleep but it soon dawned on me who it was. It was Ken my nice next door neighbor. I let him know I was in the bedroom and he was so glad to see that I was OK. He told me that last night he had forgotten to take his cell phone out of his jacket and didn't hear it ring. When he got up this morning he realized that I had called late last night (via my Life-Alert button) and he hurried over here to see if I was all right. I had shown him where I had hid the spare key to the side door and he used it to get into the house. Both of us were relieved that the system worked even though he was a few hours late. Hopefully, that will be the only time anyone will be summoned by the press of my button. Note: I figured out what to do with my button that I had hanging around my neck last night. Before I go to bed I'll take it off and place it on my walker shelf. In the middle of the night I always use my walker to get to the bathroom and back again and if I should fall, the button will be in easy reach of me. Just another little adventure of mine! :-) vee
