Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Automated External Defibrillator

[Lynn Nadeau / Maraiah (welcome]

RoseWind Cohousing, Port Townsend WA, long built. We got an AED last year, 
largely in response to my lobbying. Most useful was conversation with our local 
fire and emergency response department. They guided us to choose a good model, 
that is compatible with what the pros use, so when EMTs arrived, they could 
plug their machine into our contacts already in use. And it's the same model 
they use in their training (which a year later I still haven't gotten around to 
scheduling.... too much to do... but it is pretty self explanatory and many 
have had training elsewhere. Ours is a PhysioControl LifePack Express.

in Port Townsend, where the community's garden abounds in fresh spinach, plus 
we still have carrots, beets, parsnips, leeks, potatoes, and now have Brussels 
sprouts coming on, and there's kale, broccoli, celeriac, dill, and other 
goodies. Dahlias are all but done, the sunflowers are feeding seeds to the 
birds, zinnias still in bright bloom. Our small orchards have yielded apples 
Melrose, Mutzu, Jonagold, Cox Pippin, and Liberty. Luscious bounty!
