In case you're wondering why I didn't get a cell phone earlier, it was because everyone that is with me usually has one and I am not able to get out of my community any longer. I am fenced in and don't want to have this chair modified so that I can get a device to open the gate to let me out right now.
Anyway, lightning struck pretty close by my house the other day and knocked out my neighbors satellite and my cable/Internet connections. I have had this happen in the past and it knocked out my telephone system as well. Basically I need the cell phone now for safety reasons. I knew I needed it before, but I kept writing it off until the latest fright.
