Hi - as we are navigating this disease and its progression, I’m starting to worry about how does my husband get help if something happens to me.
Last night, he slid to the floor as we tried to get him into bed (his upper body has almost no function, but his legs have been fairly strong). I couldn’t get him up this time. As he lay sleeping on the floor (he didn’t want me to call for help yet), and I lay in bed stressing …. I started to wonder if I died in my sleep (morbid I know, but … even if I just became incapacitated) … how would he get help? How would anyone know he needed help?
We are fairly isolated where we are. We are moving to Houston, TX to be closer to medical care and friends and family, but between now and then … is there something y’all recommend?
We don’t have Alexa or any of those things because of the security issues with them … is that our only option though? What happens when his voice goes ….
I’m sure I’m not alone in these concerns … please let me know what y’all have found helpful. If Alexa is our best option, we will do it. I just want him to be safe.
Thank you!
