But I am glad we were ready with flashlights, candles, my medicines, water etc. Luckily, last night's Nor'easter did not end up being too bad for us. I know many others lost power again and it just added even more difficulty with their homes already damaged. Hope things are OK in your neck of the woods right now.AutoimmuneGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11917880603070744451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5508107958494001609.post-10180245741740456282012-11-07T20:44:57.470-05:002012-11-07T20:44:57.470-05:00We are back in the 21st century with power and hea...We are back in the 21st century with power and heat thankfully. I am very lucky to have my husband watching out for me. Glad you and your family are safe too.AutoimmuneGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11917880603070744451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5508107958494001609.post-70096256105308058902012-11-05T09:11:41.816-05:002012-11-05T09:11:41.816-05:00I am so glad you made it through the storm OK and ...I am so glad you made it through the storm OK and were prepared from a medical standpoint. We were caught off guard with last October's Nor'easter here in MA. We were out in the storm due to a church commitment and almost got killed trying to get back to our home, which never happened. Despite weather forecasts last year, I was unprepared and had difficulty accessing my medication, clothing, etc. We didn't even have enough gas in our car.<br /><br />Our town was like a disaster area, although our home was OK. I ended up getting my meds and medical supplies eventually and staying with family as we did not have running water and power for nine days. So for Sandy, like you, I was very prepared. I assumed we were going to lose power and prepared for it, especially in terms of clean water and water to flush the toilets. I refilled all my meds in case the pharmacy was inaccessible (which happened last year) and had what I needed for food. Of course, we never lost power this year and I am grateful for that.<br /><br />I hope this finds you with power and living with some comfort once again!Christine https://www.blogger.com/profile/09892346661528968954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5508107958494001609.post-10399185985421834962012-11-04T14:40:06.413-05:002012-11-04T14:40:06.413-05:00Glad you all are safe.

You have a good husband who would think to do that for you! I hope you get electricity back real soon! Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07037821915770816003noreply@blogger.com
