    The i phone has an emergency alert system that can be activated by only holding the side buttons. Not only will it summon 911 but will contact your emergency contacts.

    I also had a feeding tube place 6 months ago.It is very difficult to watch everyone else eat and enjoy their meals, especially when the food is appetizing and I want some. At first I’d try a few bites just for the taste, but now I’m no longer interested in trying it all my feeding is via peg tube. The coughing and risk of aspiration is just not worth it to me. I have trouble drinking anything too. I manage to drink one cup of coffee a day ,though it takes me over an hour to drink it. I cannot speak either so it has really affected my social life.
