I remember we flew out once when a monster storm demolished a town not long after we left. I once had to cancel plans for a talk in New Orleans due to a tornado.<br /><br />Luckily we have a generator (although it's not the whole house) and our filtered water comes from the tap, not the fridge. And the generator does power the fridge & the freezer!<br /><br />All of that is no joke, Kim.

Hopefully the podiatrist gives you a good diagnosis, but foot issues seems to be difficult to diagnose for sure — there are so many little bones in there. Most important is to give it the time it needs to heal properly.
