Had a very interesting experience yesterday which shows how quickly things can happen.
My son was my caregiver for the day and at 11:00 AM, yesterday, something was going on outside that needed his attention. He asked if I would be okay for a couple of minutes while he went out to address the problem. I said yes, we have done this hundreds of times before.
No sooner than he closed the door behind him my circuit (air hose) popped off. There I was, can't breathe end no way to get help. The problem outside took more time to deal with than was expected. By the time my son got back I was passed out! I have never fought so hard for anything in my life as I did not want to die this way and have my son live with the fact he killed his dad. If it had been anyone but him I would be dead.
It is amazing how quickly things can happen, he was only gone about 10 minutes and it was almost fatal. We will be devising a call system.
