MEDICAL ALARM
My grandmother, when she was alive, cannot help herself. Her right leg got severely injured when she accidentally tipped from the cable of the electric fan. The bad thing is none of my relatives noticed it immediately. Her condition never changed until the day she died. Doctors say that it's impossible to perform a surgery because of her age. I remember her agony and it only makes me very very sad. She just died last April and I literally cried when the Grandparent's day was celebrated last Sunday.
How I wish there was like a medical alarm during that time. My grandma was a very energetic and outgoing person. When she was alive she wants to go anywhere and she likes to visit some relatives. Since the accident happened,she became depressed and a day will not end without her, complaining about her misery. On our end, we did our best to cheer her up but nothing worked.
I guess the only thing that we regret is that we should have helped her avoid the accident but of course, everything happens for a reason. However, technology has enabled our elderly folks to avoid such accidents or notify us immediately about such. Based on my internet research, I saw two techie products: The Medical Alarm and the GPS tracker. The former works to notify us that someone had fallen and didn't have enough strength to push a button. (because some elderly people use buttons to call the attention of the people in the house.) The latter works for people are wandering especially those who are suffering from Alzheimer.
Hey grandma, I know that you're very very happy now there in heaven and I am sure that your right leg is no more aching. I miss you!
