We just have a router in the lounge. the signal is srong enough to be able to use the internet in any room. It also is the same router for the telephone, which is a DecT system being cordless with at the moment 2 telephones on it. the phones can also be used anywhere in the house or garden.
That means if I had stayed with BT apart from maybe commercial poperties a lot of my wiring of houses has gone. Thank goodness I got out when I did
On the local radio in the last few days was some information about a Wollongong Uni project (I think it was) to help people recover from falls. There was an interview with a lady who had benefited from it, she had previously had falls and been unable to get up again and couldn’t get to her phone.
She said that the program trained her in techniques to get up and since then has been able to recover from falls. I was tempted to enrol myself.
Personally I haven’t had many falls but I do have problems getting up after doing some activity on the ground. in the garden I always take a milk crate with me or have one nearby (and always make sure my phone is in my pocket.)
