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.
