So we lost our power for abut 15 hours. We finally got ours back as I was preparing to go to work with Wonder Woman. Her boss was very kind and said if you need come in earlier do so. Thanks Ms V!! I had being texting and calling Wonder Woman since the storm hit the night before and the power started flickering. Which meant my oxygen started screeching. Me and Rubes the cat sleep with a TV, salt lamp, and 2 fans. When I was teenager Wonder Woman worked nice and we had a 1/2 acre and soccer field behind that and Dog Dog was huge but a gentle soul. So TV was a comfort and still is.
So no power, means no meds, no oxygen (tanks I were conserving so used as needed), living off cheerios, and when it got to warm inside I sat on my front porch. And since I was soully depending on my phone to call and check on the power, I really had nothing to do all day. Well thats only half true. Before Wonder Woman even went to bed I dug out a book I was meaning to read for awhile that got pushed aside to video games. A biography on Steven Tyler. The one and only front man of Aerosmith. LOVE him. He has worked endlessly to get the Music Modernization Act pushed thru to make it a law with several musicians. And reading his book so far he just wanted to change the world and he did!! If you listen to any of his music, listen to Make My Own Sunshine by Steven Tyler not Aerosmith. Anyways.
No electricity meant we had to go old school CF. Medication for CF didn't come out until 1996. So there were no treatments it was just manual Chest PT. I took some more antibiotics just to keep anything at bay infection wise. Took some Benadryl and tried to keep my lungs active as possible, By early afternoon I ventured out side and sat in the shade with Grandma. Burnt my feet in the sun at one point but I mean I am a Vampire after all. She grew up next door to my Grandpa so I heard all the differences between the 2 families. The last time we were out of power my Grandpa was still alive the last time we went this long with out power and I remember being a teenager and watching the tree across the street up root and come back down with him. If you know me its the one by the edge of street across the drive way.
Needless to say this was a very exhausting day for me. Stroms really mess with my lungs as it is and the night before I had to take a lot of Benadryl to ease the pain and knock me out. To no lung meds, no vest, and a bit of hit. I was asleep by 830 last night and slept well thru the night with the snuggle bug. I saw Wonder Woman come in to check on me and her let Rubes into the sunroom. Oh my gosh I think Mr A was the first to see the shy little kitten after all these years of me being on home health.
But I'm off to catch up on Daria.
Love Yall
