Hi, Mary L.! Gosh, it's been forever since I've seen your name. I'm sorry you couldn't use your wrist! I'm glad you're using your Optacon again! I sure like mine, but need to get a charger for it. I can use it plugged in, so wait, I think it's the battery. That does need replacement and the cable should be replaced as well. Hugs A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. Proverbs 15?21 Always be yourself because the people that matter don't mind, and the ones who mind, don't matter.
