Several friends are also impacted by their smoke out there. Our husbands have a bit in common, with hand injuries. Mine did need surgery, but in future, I'm really tempted to bandage it up tight at home if possible. Not only are the ER waits outrageous, the expense is horrible! We will be paying on our 2 ER visits for years to come :(M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7580372117701042127.post-41792065504160174432017-09-07T13:05:23.176-07:002017-09-07T13:05:23.176-07:00Granny Marigold, that is a very scary photo!

No hospital or clinic in our little town so we have the choice of one of three hospitals in nearby towns and a couple clinics. <br />Hope DH's thumb is better soon!<br />RobinCat Loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09504271572051737490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7580372117701042127.post-73535038299712654162017-09-07T12:04:47.652-07:002017-09-07T12:04:47.652-07:00PS Was it past the time of a walk in clinic being...PS Was it past the time of a walk in clinic being open, when your DH cut his hand? Yes, you usually have to wait there too, but probably not as long as the ER.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938874724231860923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7580372117701042127.post-65855632145565279142017-09-07T12:00:33.491-07:002017-09-07T12:00:33.491-07:00It's only a few days that it has felt too hot ...It's only a few days that it has felt too hot in our house, mostly the humidity I think. And it is always pleasant in the basement. We have got a fairly effective system in our bedroom, that we start after the outside air has cooled in the evening. There are two windows, in one we have a big fan blowing the air OUT of the room. Therefore cooler air is being sucked in through the other window to replace it. This seems to be more effective than having the fan blowing into the room. By the time I go to bed the room is very cool, and I usually turn that fan off. If needed I leave the ceiling fan going. Luckily we have only, maybe, noticed slightly sore eyes with this smoke. Sure hoping we get that predicted moisture though.<br />The problem with the emergency room is that there are too many people there that don't really need to be. I remember my dad gashing open the palm of his hand shortly after we moved here from England. Maybe we didn't have medical coverage yet? Either he or my mum sewed it together with a needle and thread. It was about 3" long. Hope your DH's cut heals up just fine.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938874724231860923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7580372117701042127.post-55640321217562671432017-09-07T10:03:22.276-07:002017-09-07T10:03:22.276-07:00Stay in bedroom, as much as possible!!!!!!!!!

But you said Provence, so I think you are in Canada.<br /><br />Have heard scary tales of ER waiting. In England too.<br /><br />We do not have that experience, where we live, in New York State. Upper NYS. Not big city. But we do not, not, not wait in our ER or Urgent Care facilities. <br /><br />My point being, that Socialized Medicine, sounds wonderful. But in reality, it is stretched too far. And everyone waits. And to me, that is pretty scary.<br /><br />How about another A/C window unit, in another room? So you could spend more time, breathing better air?

And smoke, of course. We did spent quite a bit of time outdoors today since it wasn't raining ash like yesterday.<br />We have AC, but it is not effective upstairs in a two story house,where the thermostat is downstairs. So we have to resort to open windows and box fans at night.

My daughter has told us to call an ambulance because ER's will see a patient that arrives by an ambulance first. Of course you have to really be sick in order to do that!! Hope the air quality improves for you.Visits With Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606696720339004295noreply@blogger.com
