The lowest it’s been here on dialysis day is -12. Fortunately, when I was out in it, there was no wind. Ugh! Add winf chill to these temps, as you and I know, and you really need to stay inside till spring!
There is such a thing as dialysis at home, but it requires having a weeks’ long training for patient and helper. Instead of four hours long, this form of treatment is 12 hours long!
We gotten cold but about half an inch of the white stuff. The cold alone is miserable, but I have had to deal with sniwdrifts as tall as the bottom of my car window in other winters. I’m not the most agile at crawling over passenger seats to get to the driver seat, but that winter, thanks to three frozen doors – a rear passenger door opened for me – I actually had to crawl between the front seat gap and somehow scrunch into the driver’s seat…of a VW Golf Sportwagen! Geez!
That’s a fact, Louis! I’m eating off the shelf just now instead of going to the grocery store. While I have the makings of balanced meals, they are of less than favorite foods! One will have to be salmon loaf or something like that with icky canned salmon. My late brother lived in the top of coastal California. Married to a local woman who knew how to prepare fish, they’d come to Nebraska with smoked canned salmon they caught (in Mason jars) that was sooooo good! Spoiled me for commercially canned stuff.
Doug, really ‘hate’ that you have to be out in this bitter cold, but will trust you’ll get to appointment, it will go smoothly for you… and then swiftly on way home to dear sweet Andy… who will be waiting patiently for his beloved Dad!! Hope you can then be in for the duration of this wintery storm. As long as Andy has Greenies, you are all set to hunker down!!
I get to stay in from roughly 10 am today until my next dialysis session on Tuesday at 5 am. Believe me, I’ll stay wrapped in blankets and have the heat high at home!
Green means “go” – straight to wherever the Greenies are … Glad you feel better but I don’t like cold either! We’ve got a freezing blast too and we’re not even supposed to have it this bad where I live!
It was -11 when I drove to dialysis this morning, but we didn’t get much snow. It looks like the Great Lakes states are in for the most misery, though my sister in Dallas said they expect
rain. Rain plus cold = icy roads, perhaps. I think the South get the worst driving cindition. I know how to drive on snowy roads, but icy ones,I’d imagine, are not something you can learn enough tricks to survive without some fender benders ina history of driving.
I’m pleased you feel and look better
As we say, “Still above ground and darn glad of it!” Thanks, Derrick!

I hope it is not as cold where you are as it is here. We had -5 this morning.

Can’t they come to your house to do your dialysis so you don’t have to go out in this terrible frigid bitter cold

Sending prayers and purrayers for the safety for all people and animals in the path of this terrible cold.

Stay warm, Doug! It is cold here too, but nothing like where you are.
If you are ill, winter is never a “wonderland”.

Glad you are a little better. I hope we all can hump through this storm.
Amen to that,Kate! I feel for those in the Great Lakes area especially since they tend to get really bad snowballs and ice that wipe out electricity.
