We are fortunate and grateful to be back to green. Meanwhile, the weather is frightful, with strong chance of power outages due to ice. Have had to plan for how to manage testing and injecting without electricity … battery powered lighting and use of gas powered hot water for warm compress to replace microwaved rice filled sock for warming the ear. I also regularly warm her pate, so that will have to be done with hot water soaking of cans. We setup a 30k btu propane heater with a 30 gallon propane tank in the house for heat, as the temps are getting into single digits this week so that combined with no power would be more than a struggle. Let’s hope all this prep will keep the power outage from happening.
 
We once had the local power company take out our power for the day, for maintenance, with no warning. :banghead: I've done dosing by candle and flashlight. Good thing you've got a gas powered hot water heater, ours needs electricity for the spark. Sigh. Fortunately the BBQ has a burner on it. Other things people have used are those hot packs you can get for warming your hands from outdoor stores.

Thank you Wendy. The hand warmer idea is great, I like that better than the hot water bottle plan. I feel ok about injecting in lower light situation (knock on wood), but that would NOT have been true a few months ago.
