They hibernate when water temp gets below 50, so never a problem with power.

I know you were very fond of both of them. I think the power company should give you priority because you need that bed for your skin. I hope your skin is okay & you get a working generator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556371561007953336.post-32972757034298098032011-11-04T15:18:53.267-07:002011-11-04T15:18:53.267-07:00Eric, I have talked to the electric company, local...Eric, I have talked to the electric company, local groups and town. The only medical device the electric company acknowledges and places a priority on for restoration of power is a ventalator. The town and local groups I approached all said sorry but we cannot help. This is New York afterall. I finally acknowledged I needed generator this week. My brother went out and got one for me. It was expensive and defective, worked for less than 5 minutes. After we exchange it this weekend for one that actually works I will be covered for next storm. Rather than my pride it was my budget that prevented the purchase. Generators are expensive.william Peacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00223601480542461802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556371561007953336.post-73524037163729358762011-11-03T22:38:07.715-07:002011-11-03T22:38:07.715-07:00You have to come to terms with the fact that you a...You have to come to terms with the fact that you are vulnerable now to certain health issues. Don't you have a local council that you could turn to to ask for a loan generator? Some kind of social service network?

Telling them my son was dependent on electricity for his health did the trick (it was also winter). Can't you do the same to get prioritized treatment? Citing known health problems (pressure wounds) which is instantly worsened by cold and poorer circulation?Eric Fischerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02471331868560587898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556371561007953336.post-9831654751321315592011-11-03T16:10:12.013-07:002011-11-03T16:10:12.013-07:00That's terrible!

I hope you're ok now and have power back - and more importantly that your skin is ok.<br /><br />Unfortunately I'm a long ways away or I'd offer you some of my rapidly expanding tetra population.<br /><br />Is it possible for you to have a generator installed for the next such storm? I know a lot of people seem to be getting hit with terrible storm/ power outages on a far more regular basis these days.painting with firehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578014572547587329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556371561007953336.post-59672829245979190982011-11-02T14:59:45.761-07:002011-11-02T14:59:45.761-07:00What mudgglemad said.
