> I spoke to CL & P - to a human being, last night and today and I FB messaged

them and they emailed me back - and I told them the situation. Its supposed to

be repaired by tonight or tomorrow.

>

> Today I made soup and a bunch of hot water for washing - with a STERNO

catering set-up that my husband showed me how to use.

>

> I stayed for just 4 hours today, then my sister and the aides came so I left

to do what I have to do. Nothing is easy with no power.

>

> My power just came on, but due to the fact he is hard to move and all the

aides and social workers, RN's etc thru CT agency - and he wants to be home. -

they stayed home. You would not believe what I went thru to try to get him out

of there on Monday - then I went on business trip with husband for 2 days - to a

HOTEL - then back to them.

> They only live 22 miles from me - but it is back-roads and takes 1-1/2 hours

due to the trees and crews working - much of the roads are single file due to

the workers.

> The workers trucks are from NC, Missouri, Michigan and FL, and a bunch say

" Appalachia Power " . probably more places. And the National Guard is all around.

>

> So now that its been one week,. I think things are starting to happen. But how

did they expect us to be OK when nights are in the 20's and there is no heat ?

There was no sense of urgency and no trucks till it was almost one week.

> Also the Fire Dept came to move him from the couch to the hospital bed. Social

worker at hospice told us to call them - and they were great and moved him into

the hospital bed.

> Now I don't have to worry about him falling down anymore. Thanks Judy and all

of you for your great support and I will keep you posted
