[Magdalen] Fall Down Go Boom.

[Esther Williamson]

I cannot get up either when I fall. It has now been 6 months since my 
last tumble but, I have an inexpensive cell phone which costs me 
$10.00/month. It has my kids programmed in and I carry it at all times 
when not in bed. I used to have an around the neck alarm that would keep 
calling my children on a rotating basis until one of them answered. That 
worked until it didn't. That time I spent quite some time on the floor 
until I was able to crawl to a phone to get help. The alert system that 
sends an ambulance would be quite expensive as the city charges for 
sending help.
