			I guess I'm going to offer some tips hopefully they'll help.  Is your foot wrapped or in a cast or anything?  I was having a lot of trouble with my ankle swelling & wearing a brace really helped.  The compression was what did it.   
 
Maybe you could buy a camping shower.  They have these bags with solar panels on the outside that you fill with water & then leave them in the sun to get hot.  It's pretty nice and I don't think they are super expension.   
 
Could you maybe heat up water for the doggies bath in the microwave(using your generator) or something & at least bathe & brush them?  Do you have a grill, maybe you could heat on a grill. 
 
I think it's just aweful that your rates are going to go up that's totally crazy. 
 
Pear trees are nice, but I don't think they get much over 7 feet tall. 
 
I'm praying that your son is able to find a job very soon.  Did he have a job before he left?  Isn't there a law that you have to hold jobs with people serving?  If not there should be.   Doesn't the service offer some kind of insurance? 
  
I'm sorry if I wasn't much help.  But I'm thinking of you & hoping you get electricity soon.
