Pennsylvania Man's Fitbit almost ready to call 911

Area man Mark Allison, 49, got a Fitbit from his daughter on Thanksgiving, when he attended dinner at her house and visited his only grandchild, Tiffany.

Nancy, the daughter, encouraged him to take a canvas shopping bag and walk to the gas station for Bud Light and cigarettes, instead of driving. He did do this for a few weeks, as the starting motor of his twenty year old Toyota Corolla started acting up. Rarely did he get 10 00 steps. But by noon he normally had 3000 steps.

The problem started yesterday by noon. He had walked 1.1K steps. Then it stopped.

By 3PM it still had not moved from that. By 6PM the Fitbit started to worry. It still read only 1.1K. The phone this Fitbit was connected to had 21% left on the battery.

The Fitbit itself was well charged, but by 9PM it really started to freak out. The man had not walked. Was he asleep? Had he taken drugs? Fitbit could not even cover him with a blanket in the TV chair he had not moved from. And the phone was dead. Fitbit could no longer make the 911 call.
