Yes. The military coverage came to my house. I use an induction stove for safety. I also mentioned that I don’t need someone to shower me. I just need someone home for safety.

The 40 plus years that I’ve been epileptic this is the first for me. They asked if I used a chair for showering I probably should put that into consideration. I don’t always know when a seizure is going to occur.

I've never had trouble showering unless I was in a seizure. There's usually just a risk of having one while in the shower. It's happened several times.

Never had Medicare themselves offer to come to my place for anything. Did have the insurance I get thru a medicare offer to come to my place to give a yearly physical. Still I never accepted that offer.
