JUST SUPPOSING

Medical scanners
are amazing.
Using results
from technical scans neurologists (yes, plural) tell me I’ve had 7 strokes
since August 2014, and having done all they can with meds and lifestyle changes
to prevent future episodes I will nonetheless continue having them. (What they
didn’t factor in is “Depending on what God decides.”)
Four events I
definitely recognized. Three I must
have slept thru.
One of the
lifestyle changes is having a one button emergency alert device within reach at
all time. It is in pocket, around neck on lanyard, or in head of bed. Being
hardheaded I’ve used it once. My demolished kitchen door is evidence that it works.
The device does
much more than invite into my home the wonderful men and women in blue uniform.
When activated
the operator inquires as to need and continues talking until rescue is
accomplished..
It alerts family
list when I push button.
It facilitates
ask-a-nurse.
It facilities foot
or wheel directions if lost.
It knows where I
am at any given moment.
Via their
smartphones it keeps my daughters informed as to whether I’m home or “Out and
about”. And when they touch phone screen it gives my present location address
and phone number. Additionally it provides them with a weekly summary of time
home or out and about.
Suppose God had such
wondrous capability . . . and the difference our constant awareness thereof
would make?
