Robin down - expect some delays.

For anyone who has been watching the news latel,y you'll know that there was a massive storm that came to our neck of the woods a week ago. All in all it wasn't as bad here as other places - 5" of snow but some freezing rain on top of it which made all surfaces outside treacherous.  Our approach to this was to "huddle inside" and not venture out.  Well, there were some really important documents that needed a notary so Robin and I did set out to do that.  Well, on the way back into the house she fell and when using her hand/arm to brace the fall the "snow" (which is really solid ice at this moment) didn't give an inch.

Those who know us, are aware that we never go to the doctor, but the day it happened she thought a trip to urgent care was warranted.  Turns out the only urgent care in the area didn't have x-ray facilities, so we turned back.  The next day, she got an appointment with our local "multi-disciplinary" clinic and the x-rays did, indeed, indicate that she fractured the ball of her arm that fits into the shoulder. They gave her a sling, which helps a lot with the pain and got her an appointment with an orthopedic specialist for the next day (yesterday).

The orthopedic specialist confirmed what the general practitioner said. And while there may be some "soft tissue" damage as well (like a torn rotator cuff) none of that can be addressed until after the bone has enough time to mend such that it won't "slide apart" and cause more series problems.

As for the warehouse - it's pretty much "snowed in" until we an get some melting - not even going to attempt accessing it as the effort would be too great based on it's location (very far back and divided from "civilzation" by crossing a bridge to get onto the property and a long distance and large parking lot that is 100% buried.

The good news, is most of the shipments were taken care of just prior to this. But for those that haven't (mainly overseas orders) you can expect some further delays.
