We got 7 inches at my house. Cabin via the Ring camera front of and rear of cabin .... oh my lots more snow!!
The temps at cabin have been minus 25. The flooring is guaranteed to either 25 or -25. We were going to go this weekend to get wood stove going and check/be sure the well water tanks, pipes etc and flooring are good but can't. Will explain below.

Oh my since Monday! Severe cold temps. This morning feels like temp minus 15. Schools had 2 hr delays. Should have allowed kids to stay home in my opinion. Way too cold at bus stops.

Lucky you only 2 to 3 inches LB. Good your car started. Has it continued to start hope so. It's brutal cold. Of all weeks for you to have to go into office. How do both your new knees feel in this bitter cold?


I've been MIA because my husband Charlie's ICD/implanted cardiac defibrillator shocked his heart again. Scary because it's happening more often now. He's had it since 2008. Used to shock only on occasion for years then once a year but happening more frequently.

Last event/shock was last October. Don't know if I told anyone here. We were at cabin. Just him and me when suddenly he got a shock then his heart shocked second time 5 minutes later. Not good! I had to call 911 in very rural area and taken to hospital 30 to 45 minutes away. Anyway all turned out good. Awesome staff at that hospital in western PA.

His most recent shock now only 3 months after the last. He had 2 V-tach episodes that his heart corrected on its own but the third did not correct rythmn on its own thus the defib shock he got. Luckily I was standing beside him. The shock knocked him off his feet .. knees buckled and down he went. I tried to catch him but when it happens it's fast. I hate the yell he does when he's shocked. It's terrible.

Well thank you for allowing me to 'unload' .. feels like journaling .. getting this out because I don't allow him to see me stressed as I'm  to be helping him and my family too. Felt good unloading here.  :)  :-*

Glad we're here to help you relieve some of the stress/angst paulie.  Lots of relief is a good way to cope - that along with prayers, and hugs, and caring friends.  We'll be with you and Charlie.

Awwww

Tig, Puff, Karen and LB, Thank you very much. You are each good friends! I really appreciate it.  :)  :-*

LB, Yes he has appointment tomorrow.
How's it going at work? Is the girl you called trouble maker still there?


Update: So far so good. He's been resting. Charlie's cardiologist is upping his heart rhythm med and has also ordered a program change in his device/ICD.  It's called a therapy increase amount of burst. This has been done in the past. Basically it means the timing from when the device senses the faster heart rhythm, the time will be extended before the device shocks the heart allowing the heart to hopefully return to a slower rhythm on its own therefore eliminating a shock. This was done after his two shocks last October.
Hopefully this newer adjustments helps more.
A procedure called oblation (burns off scar tissue in heart) was discussed a year or two ago but now the Dr suggests not doing procedure due to condition of heart and Charlie's age. Whew! Time to change the topic.

How has each of you been doing with the severe temps and snow?? We're all ready for Spring I'm sure.

Tig, You're in Michigan correct?
Puff, How's it for you in Chicago?
Karen, Did it snow? You're in Georgia correct? It doesn't normally snow in Georgia does it?

New Orleans and Florida got hit hard!!

I haven't been to Beak Room since last time I asked about Eagles4evr. I hope she's still not around any of the fires as they've been spreading south. I don't have time to go to read tonight. Hopefully I can tomorrow.

Take care and SED

Just a dusting of snow last two dates paulie.  I know it's been mentioned before - but today I actually saw some young teenager using a leafblower.  Just a trace.  Temps keep using single digits at night, but stay at double digits most of the day. Right now 11 - 0 forecast for tonight.  The whole area is promised high 30's for weekend.

Concerns still for you both.

Hope all goes well with Charlie.  I forgot to answer about my knees they are fine in the cold.    No pain.  Only if I sit too long they stiffen. I guess a gentle  reminder for me to get up and move. LOL  I am hoping to walk tomorrow.  I am up to 1.5 miles or more. not quite 2 miles yet but soon Gotg to strengthen up my back   it starts to hurt when I get close to 1.5 miles No walking this past week only cause I was in the office  :)  I actually dont mind the cold.  It was brutal in the morning though
