Handy Help

>> Sunday, March 1, 2009

My grandma is will turn 73 this May 28. She is now insulin dependent. It was over a decade now since she was diagnosed with Diabetes. One thing that I observed about her is that she always had a hard time to balance herself. She stumbles a lot of times already that’s why is not allowed to go to the market alone anymore. It also limited her activities like going to church and other religious activities which she does very diligently before. Just two years ago, we decided to give her a walking cane. It helped her to balance and it helped her walk much easier. The only problem is when the little brats, Brent and Sam would see her cane; they would play with it and eventually leave it somewhere else leaving my Granny clueless. Just recently Kuya and I thought of getting her a new set of walking canes. I discussed with him the set of canes that I saw from allegromedical.com. They got foldable canes which would be great for her because she can keep it in her bag. They also got accessories for walking canes like holder and strap so the boys would never play with her canes again.Its about time to get her new one, I know she would love them.

Chat Site for Seniors

>> Tuesday, February 24, 2009

I was watching a magazine show last time. It features an eighty year old lady and a seventy plus year old grandfather who still studied basic computer education despite their age. I was even surprised that the lady has a facebook account where she tracks her long lost friends and relatives. I just created my facebook account this week, because I was curious that she still enjoys it in spite of her age. I really admire her perseverance to adapt with the new technology. I think she would enjoy Seniorcitychat.com! It is a Free Senior Chat site where in senior users around the world meet and exchange chats. It offers free membership upon sign up at their site. It is guaranteed that senior users would enjoy communication with different persons around the world. It is a way where they can meet new friends without leaving the premises of their home. Since they are seniors their time and energy to go out would be limited and their chance of meeting new friends would also be lessen. But with the help of Seniorcitychat.com, they would be able to build new friendships and even relationship with people of their same age bracket. With the help of computer and their webcam, they could explore the site and look for persons in which they share the same interests. They said that growing old is lonely but with the help of sites like this, growing old could be fun.
