Phone fixed

So my brother took me over to the Verizon store, and the nice lady messed with my phone for a few minutes. And then she told me she'd seen it happen before, and what I needed was a new SIM.

Doing that took a few minutes more, and now my phone works again. Which is a relief.

Remember the ad that said, "I've fallen and I can't get up!' Little old lady. It came in for a lot of snide humor (i.e. "I've fallen and I can't reach my beer!") but when you're feeble and live alone, it's a very real fear. This phone was my answer to that, and for a week and a half it didn't work. I was feeling a bit insecure. Now it's back again.

1 It's good it's back in working order.  Had a cellphone just randomly stop working the other day as well.  Just took a hard reset, but it's definitely one of those things that, when you need it, you really do need it.

2 For cardiac reasons, my cellphone is always within arm's reach, and often a lot closer than that.  I understand the insecurity.
