Did you get the hand looked at @figmentfan423 ?

 

[Figgy1]

Are you icing it at least? 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off. Call your doctor at least.

I am, I did and it's in a brace. I have to go in if it gets any worse.

It looks like the actual storm is now scheduled to loop just to the south of us before going up west and north. We will get the peripherals of the storm but it shouldn't be anything like being in the middle of it. Wind gusts now and on and off rain. It is expected to get more consistent before long, but, if the luck holds out we will be fine. Still expecting some power outages though.

good luck and I hope the power stay on

I could wiggle fingers when my hand was broke... keep it elevated and iced

I walked on a broken ankle for 2 days before going in. As I've said before if men had to give birth the human race would have gone extinct eons ago

 

[Figgy1]

Geesch that is going to bruise! Can you wiggle all your fingers?

Yup all of them now. Did not going to lol. How are you holding up? Does your dh have to go in?

 

[Figgy1]

Hopefully it will lose strength as it goes over land.

^^^^This X2

 

[Figgy1]

I hate doing nothing. I'm hoping to be up to doing some tracing in a little while. My dh already told the boys they have to do all the chopping and my chores for at least the next 2 weeks no matter how I say I feel. The bathrooms are cleaned to my standards

It's not very strong, wind wise right now, but, it is still expected to be a tropical storm before the end of the day, if not soon. The problem right now is that those clouds contain a whole lot of moisture and it is moving very slowly. For us, that means that a lot of water is mixing in with an already fairly saturated soil and that combined with 35 to 45 mph winds make the trees want to uproot and head for dryer places. Fallen trees equal, power lines down, equals a whole lot of difficulty in staying cool in a very warm place. I have a Coleman stove that I have been hanging onto for the past 15 years. I've never used it, but, I tugged it out and checked the connections for leaks and when that was clear I tested the burners and voila they worked. It will be used sparingly with a whole lot of ventilation, but, at least not everything needs to be cold.

Yuck! Hope it feels better! He is on standby. They are waiting to see what we get this weekend before sending them out of town.

Yayy glad you have t. Mine is ready too. They are good things to have in a storm.

First feeder cloud bands starting here. It is so humid you could slice it with a knife.
