I'm looking for an assistance program for the deaf that can help me get a bed vibrator.

My wife came home last week after a year long hospitalization suffering from Congestive Heart Failure, Renal Failure, Respiratory Arrest and a Mild Stroke.

Thing is, she's a double amputee (no legs) and her upper body strength isn't what used to be.

I tried setting up a strobe light that is connected to a remote device. When she presses a remote button, it'll flash at me. Well, that works 75% of the time. This morning, not so much.

It worries me because what if that was an emergency and she could have died on me.

So I really need a bed vibrator so I can hook it to the same said remote device to wake me up with when she needs me.

The strobe light works fine during the day, it's when I am asleep that may become a problem.

The one I looked at so far is $56.95 Heavy Duty Bed Vibrator - Products for the Deaf but it's pretty expensive, at least for me.

I live in Indiana, like 30 mins north of Indy.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

That's a little cheaper, but dunno when or how soon I can buy it. I'm kinda hoping for some assistance program that can help get me this for me.

We're not exactly rich.

Give the Governor's Council for People with Disabilities (GCPD) in Indy a try. They should be able to assist you with this.

try "Sonic Alert" alarm clocks. I've had one for years with no problems.
