Re: Tina: Deciding to Get a CI/OFF TOPIC-Safety

I agree with that something should be done so this incident

never happens again. I've had poor experiences also but none that

compares with 's experience. I've come to the conclusion that my

safety depends on me because people are so often unreliable. We have

a " buddy system " at my former employment but so very often,

my " buddy " would be out of the office whenever something occurred

such as a fire alarm or evacuation due to another incident. I

realized I must be aware of my surroundings and investigate any

unexpected change....such as seeing people leave or the office is

suddenly quiet and it's not lunch or quitting time. Without my

auditory clues, I would be as lost as was. The same is true at

my home. Living alone is not always easy but I do have a system of

visual alerts and even vibrators when I'm asleep to wake me for any

type of noise or intrusion. Just wondering if anyone has more ideas

for safety: at the office, in the home, and on the streets.

Gayle,

At home, I use a sound signaler (Alertmaster 6000) which alerts me via a

vibrating pager to various sounds around my home including the phone,

doorbell, fire alarm and smoke detector. When traveling outdoors, I wear a

personal alarm which emits a 90 dB horn when activated.

...Yes! That sounds wonderful to me and I too want to get

something similar. I've been extremely lucky all my life that I've

avoided danger. I am waiting to get my implant and once that is

working, I plan to check into a personal device that I can use for

emergencies and one that will alert me via pager/vibrator when my

alerting system goes off. HMMMMMMMMMM...maybe I just need a hubby!

*laughing*

Gayle,

Get yourself a hubby! <grin>

I think you'll really like the extra safety you get by using an alerting

system. I've had mine for the past 9 years. One time it went off in the

middle of winter when the fire alarm went off at 4 in the morning. There was

a real fire in the building and it's frightening to think what would have

happened if I didn't have the alerting system.

instructorsb do such a good job at th dogs,. maye Arnie and I should go back
