Anyway, those who have worked with anyone with senile dementia will
have caught on that these are used for wAndering not wOndering seniors
as well as being useful for young children.
Now the rest here can stop wOndering what the heck I meant.
There are people I recall whose ferrets would get window screens out,
or dislodge vent pipes for drier vents, or otherwise get where they
should not. Such alarms could be useful for them. The nurse had just
gotten a number for her daughter who has toddlers.
She said that they were someplace starting with "Wal". Can you tell
that I am still exhausted even though I caught up on a bit of sleep
finally today? I think she said that she found them in Walgreens (a
pharmacy chain) but she might have instead mentioned Walmart.
Sadly, she did not recall the product name.
