Jennifer, I forgot to mention that the 20 dollar talking watch from maxi aids, has 4 individual alarms, and a stop watch, as well. The four alarms seem like overkill, but, they can be used to get up in the morning, set a time you are supposed to call someone, take medicine, go somewhere, etc. I find it very handy.

My thought is that once dried out everything should go back to working fine, but I do not know. Can you still buy the old wind up alarm clocks with Braille? I have not come across one, but I have not been searching for one either. It seems like such a practical thing to have.
