Clarification

Just to explain: the reason I have a phone book on the floor is that in the past, once, I was weak with a fever and wound up on the floor for a couple of days (until rescued). Consequently I tried to put within reach anything I might need if there's a similar situation. Anything above about two feet might just as well be on the moon; also my electricity is off periodically due to the area I live in. It isn't a Luddite thing; it's just an emergency-preparedness thing.

Just a thought ... what about keeping your cell phone on you with emergency numbers on your favorites list? HMMMM? Or get one of those call button necklaces. PLEASE.

My cell's generally close to the floor but doesn't work reliably out here in the sticks.
