Before retirement, when I interacted with former military in the IT game who had learned their basic programming in the military, the Navy people stood head and shoulders above the rest. I assume that was the influence of Admiral Grace Hopper.
It was a retired Navy CPO with whom I worked that taught me how to properly eat raw oysters. I owe him a lot for that.

HOWDY MA!

Or maybe not.
Well, I found out how Medical Alert works today.
My phone rang just before 1pm....
“We’ve gotten multiple “calls” from the home and cannot make a verbal connection with the owner.” “Now we are calling this number.” Do you want us to call 911 now?”
They called me again asking if they needed to send 911. This was worth the short $400 a year. And Saturday I got the renewal letter and was giving it thought. I will pay it tonight.
No. let me go home and find out what is going on. Called my sister and told her to call my Mom and keep calling until I get home. Mom fell in the office. Couldn’t get up or past Reggie so pushed the button. IT WORKED!!
I called the neighbor, who is an assisted living home caregiver, and he came over and got her up and back into Reggie. I got her to bed with ibuprofen and a heating pad. My sister just texted that she called and Mom is comfy and “really chatty”. When I get home we will see about her getting up and back into Reggie or ?????
AND....the walk in tub will be installed Oct 29 and 30!!! We can’t wait!!

Prayers for you and your sister and Mom, suspected that something was up.
Glad she’s okay!
