techniques to alert you of things, like taking your blood sugar etc. Many people have to set alerts in their smart phones, use notes in the kitchen, get friends to phone or check on them. I don’t wonder you are shook up, but importantly you did react when alerted.

For a different reason perhaps, I was driving home once from shopping, only about a mile, and I
put the car in park. I mean I was driving in traffic. Maybe I meant to put the turn signal on. Honestly, I didn’t know then or now. Never told my partner. Was driving his auto transmission pick -up. Good was not on freeway.

I like to think of near catastrophic events that don’t turn out to be as a wake up call, a little knocking on my door to help me do what I need to, be it look when I back up driving or whatever. Some close calls. Yes.

I hope you feel better. I’d probably have been too panicked to unplug stuff.
