My late mom had a life alert the last 5 years of her life and it saved her twice. Well worth it. In whatever form. If you fall and break a hip, your passed out neighbor sure as shit isn't coming to your rescue.

My mom had refused a life alert several times ("they spy on you"), and never kept her cell phone charged. After the fall & broken leg at home, she had to use a walker and driving privileges were gone, so we finally got her to move into an Independent Living facility which supplied their residents with a life alert-type pendant. A few months later, she fell again, and once again, it was a couple of days before the cleaning crew found her on the floor in the bathroom - Alert pendant was on the table next to the bed. She only survived for a few days after this 2nd fall.

Uh, I'm gonna say, maybe not 4 days without food involved, but I have had some experience with the other factors...

Based on my observations here, it's become apparent that he's committing suicide.

Got up about 6am feeling fine. I made something to eat, turned on the tv. From then on, I started having progressive pain all around my chest & back area. First impression was a heart attack. I fell into the coffee table waking up my wife. I'm clutching my chest and rolling around the floor. The pain was unlike anything I ever had. She calls 911 crying. Dogs are licking my face and want to play Ambulance shows up and all the numbers are pretty much off the charts. So, by feeling fine at 6am, I was at the hospital by 7:15. They had me on Morphine all day to ease the pain of my first kidney stone! A month later, I had 2 procedures done to remove some more that were inside both kidneys. Urologist said he drinks a glass of pure/organic lemonade daily to help prevent this. The pain levels for these can be from near nothing to a ride in an ambulance |

Good on you, Yadkin, for stepping up and helping out. I would be happy to have you for a neighbor.
