When All Else Fails....

When I stopped to wave to Mom on my way home from work last night, a series of events led to my learning that her call button wasn't working.  She would pull the string but it was not calling the nurse's station successfully. (I called the center today to make sure they would get it fixed for her.)

I mentioned this to my co-workers, and one of them told me a funny story about a relative.... An elderly grandmother was in a nursing home and had asked the staff twice to bring her a glass of water.  After a half hour had gone by without a water delivery, she called 9-1-1. The police called the nursing home and asked them to bring her a glass of water. From then on, she got what she wanted fairly quickly!  😊
