More staffing problems this weekend. This is my last full week with my nursing agency and I’m anxious to get things up and running. At least I’ll have a better idea of what’s going on with the schedule. Anyone want to come to Minneapolis tomorrow and hang out with me for a few hours?
It’s been oppressively hot and humid the last couple days here. But at least we have power. Since my ventilator runs on battery for only 12 hours or so, I’d be quite screwed in a blackout. If anyone has stories about how people with disabilities were affected by the Great Northeastern Blackout of 2003, send them to me.
Blech. Need to get away from the computer…
Not that it’s at all similar, but we had humongotornados blow through my neighborhood five years ago that blew down trees and took out the electricical for about a week. The day it happened, my son’s RSV went ape-shit and we needed to give him a breathing treatment with his nebulizer. After running aorund like freaks, we were directed to an ambulance which had parked a couple of blocks over and had power strips hooked up to its on-board AC outlets. We also could have hooked it up to one of the dozens of TV trucks that were over in the ‘hood covering the devastation.
you should get a small gas powered generator
