I had a $200 credit from Google that could be redeemed only in the online Google Store.

Google is huge, huge company.

My last encounter with their hierarchy took days of calling before I spoke with a person who resolved my problem quickly and efficiently.

Still smarting from that experience, I dreaded starting the process, but $200 is $200.

So, I decided today was the day to contact their support division. I was prepared to call day after day until I reached someone who could help me.

I was flabbergasted when I reached someone within a relatively short period of time.

Like magic my problem was resolved and my $200 credit was spent.

In a few days, I will receive a smart watch. I chose this because of the fall detection feature.

I fell a few weeks ago and hit my head on my kitchen counter.

All of this was caught on my security camera. My feet were in the air and the sound of whimpering was pitiful.

More pitiful was the reason I fell…tripping over a rake in my kitchen!

Of course, it could have been a mop, broom or even the vacuum cleaner.

Maybe I should not sweep, mop or vacuum my floors or rake the leaves in the front yard?

Seriously, this was a wake up call that I needed a plan in case I fell and could not get up.

I will let you know how life is with my new smart watch.
