Hard to remember to take your cellphone to the bathroom with you in the middle of the night though! It will be a while efore I get into that habit but something tells me I should try.

I try to always have my cell phone but do forget it when it's recharging in the kitchen. I have a whistle I carry and would hope someone would hear me. DH and kids call bag on my wheelchair Mom's McGyver bag. Carry a cell phone, a whistle, small knife (to open packages or kill intruders 8-D) a small flashlight, comb, house key, etc. I may throw in a throat lozenge or candy bar sometimes. Like a boy Scout try to be prepared for most things. But stuff I'm not prepared for sometimes happens.
