Bought an Apple Watch

I remain truly shaken by my Sunday night seizure experience. Thank God it happened at home and that Steve was here. I never want to experience that again. However, if I do, I at least can know that all will eventually be well. I hope all goes well for me on Wednesday night when Eoin, François and Jay come for dinner.

Yesterday we began our day with a walk with our friends. Steve came and thoroughly enjoyed the walk and talking to everyone in the group. I was slow, so I was always way behind the rest of the pack, but Sheba stayed with me. It was the first time in over a month that I have walked the entire route with my friends.

When we were done, Steve and I went shopping. I had prescriptions to order and others to pick up. And bonus! All the medications I picked up were free. My deductible has been paid off and so it’s not so bad as I feared. Now it takes seven months to pay off my deductible; prior to Tezspire, it took two months.

We had lunch outdoors in the garden, and then I got online with Steve and I bought an Apple watch. It cost nine hundred bucks with taxes, a special fee to make it possible to link the watch with a cell phone (in case I move), AppleCare so help is free, and delivery. 

The alarm I wear is provided by Lifeline. They recently started having AI robots answer the calls and the AI voice does not work with my speech impediment. That’s why I bought the Apple watch. But having the watch is also cheaper. One year of alarm service with Lifeline costs me $600, so the watch is a bargain over time.

When I called Lifeline to cancel my service, I told them why and the operator told me that I could request a human responder and not the AI. I told her that Lifeline might have been wise to send all of us who use their service a notice of the change in their operation. Had I known I could have requested a human responder, I might not have bought the watch. But I think the watch may be fun.

Once we wrapped up with Apple, Steve took the car and went sightseeing. He loves to go to the beaches and to do some shopping. And I watered all the garden beds. Once Steve returned, I took Her Highness for our afternoon walk, and then I got busy making Laksa for our dinner. After dinner, we watched movies and went to bed happy to have had a pretty great day together. And no seizure last night!

Today is, yet again, brilliantly sunny. I can’t remember when we last had any rain. I must bake a cake for tomorrow night’s dinner, and I’ll be watering the garden beds.
