We had some wicked storms last night... We're the only ones in the neighborhood affected by the storms, because one of our trees tore out our lone power pole, which tore the mast, meter, etc off of our house. The line is still live (we were actually just told that a lot of the metal in our house is hot, both of our ground wires have been torn apart), so we're not sure if the power company even knows there is an "outage".
The insulin was in the fridge last night until Peeps needed her shot (power had been out approx 3 hours), and was moved to a cooler with ice.
Our state government has shut down, and along with the holiday weekend, plus 7,000 other customers being without electricity, the insulin might be in a cooler all weekend. Our fridge is hooked up to a generator right now, but the compressor has been on for almost 3 hours now non-stop, and we cannot run the generator all night to keep the fridge going - so I plan on having the insulin in our cooler.
If this problem isn't resolved, how long will my PZ last in a cooler in these conditions? And how will I know if it has gone bad?
It's a brand new bottle, opened just weeks ago. It seemed cool for Peeps' AM shot, but it didn't seem the same cool that it feels when I pull it out of the fridge...
I am not sure how much I will be able to access internet until this gets resolved, so if you could just post here and I'll try to get back to you when I am able.
