Thank you for your concern, but I never and would never place my life in the hands of any one piece of anything really. Be that technology, person or process.

The Fitbit has given me a heads up a little earlier than I otherwise would have got it, the value added for me is that it's cheap and a great indicator. But an indicator is all it is and it is part of a wider protocol we have in the house for preventing and detecting Autonomic Dysreflexia. A vital part, but still just one component.

I do wish I could turn off the step counter though, and if it could detect when I'm asleep that would also be great. The former I don't think I'm ever going to do very well on and the latter is really not the fault of the device as I don't move around very much at all.

Thanks again for your concern! :-)
