I don't need a PCA (yet), but probably will with a few things at some
point.  Last time I fell, I couldn't get off the garage floor and back
into my chair on my own.  Janet was home, though, so even though she and
I were not able to get me up, she called a neighbor, and got my lard-a**
off the ground.  It's definitely food for thought.  I figure that
MiCASSA, or something similar will have passed by the time I need
regular assistance.  I'm hoping that will be 10 - 15 years.  One
question - "seeking help goes against everything we (despise ?)".

Jeremy,

       As Kyle already said, seeking help goes against everything we
despise.
However, there will come a time when it is needed. So, while you can,
arrange
a help schedule that will be adaptable to your changing needs.
