Funky, for the last couple of hours after adding my link to "Low Spark...," I have been dancing around the house and singing to his music. Ha. My son still loves the Dead and he continued to go to concerts. He was 12 when I took him and all he kept saying was "thank you mommy"- he was just too cute. Funny thing, he just sent me a text about a June concert in CA for which he is trying to get tickets! That's my kid! :-) Mtn, not sure Traffic, Blind Faith, or Steve Winwood were ever really considered popular culture-more counter-culture, I suspect, although he did do some sort of pop stuff in late 80s-90s. I don't think it came close to his work in the 60s-70s.

gardener123wws, there are lots of online sources that can better explain it than I can, e.g., https://www.imore.com/apple-watch-cellular-vs-gps-whats-difference The cellular version functions independently from your iPhone. The GPS version is tethered to the iPhone. I've read that the distance is up to 50 ft. I'm used to always having my phone with me so it seems natural to me, but it doesn't have to be right on your person to work. At home, somewhere in the house is fine. Why would I bother to have my phone when my watch makes/receives calls? I like having the internet, books, etc. with me. You can access stuff on your watch, but it's not the way I want to get info at any given time. I don't know how much heavier the cellular version is over the GPS. I have small wrists and I don't even feel its presence, very light feeling. It looks big, but the benefits outweigh it. Battery life is longer with GPS. I charge mine at night and put it on when I hop out of the shower around 6:00 a.m. By 10:30 p.m. there's still 40%+ remaining and that's with heart rate monitor on.

bbstx, your questions: Question 1) He will not have to initiate a 911 call if he takes a hard fall. A: If you fall and you are not moving, the watch automatically activates "Emergency SOS" which includes a) first calling 911 and then b) calling your emergency contacts (which can be specified in the Watch App that lives on the paired iPhone). B: If you fall but you are still moving, the watch will tap you on the wrist (a haptic thing, and yes you definitely feel it), and it will show the red "Emergency SOS" button, as well as "I'm OK". If you do not respond to tell the watch you're OK, then the watch activates the SOS itself and calls 911 and your emergency contacts. (Note, on later versions, there's also an option to respond to a button that says "I did not fall, I'm OK" and that helps the watch "learn" your activity levels and become more accurate at fall detection in your specific daily activities. C: In any case where someone is wearing an Apple Watch, any bystander can call 911 directly from that watch just by pressing and holding the rectangular button on the side wall at the lower right corner, whether "Emergency SOS" is activated or not. For example, if your friend found her husband in need of sudden help even though he had not fallen, she could stay right there with him, and call 911 directly from his watch. Question 2) The features on the watch are set up and managed from the Apple Watch app on the iPhone with which it is paired. If your friend pairs a watch for her husband to her own phone, then only she could make changes to the watch settings. My husband and I both wear these Apple Watches, so I feel OK recommending them for the fall detection and automatic emergency call features.

Nini and Maria, I was diagnosed just twelve years ago. My first episode was 225 BPM, I couldnt do anything except sit and have a heartbeat. All subsequent attacks have been the same or worse. I can always tell right before one starts because it feels like i am falling off a cliff. I called a friend who took me to the ER where I got adenosine to restart the heart. I was on a regimen of arrhymia drugs that have been tweaked and changed over the years. At first I had breakthrough epsodes that were very scary if i was driving so I stayed off the interstate for awhile 🙄 My situation is complicated by the fact that i also have a clotting disorder and have been in DIC twice during or after a surgery. Traveling requires a lot of preparation, carrying health history and knowing location of closest suitable hospital. I don't have them often now and they don't always require a trip to the hospital. Travel to even somewhat remote locations is no longer on my radar; I’m glad I saw a lot of the third world as a teenager.
