My parents are about halfway through their road trip to see Danae and I and should be arriving tomorrow. They made it from Kenosha, Wisconsin past Minneapolis, Minnesota last night before they realized they forgot to pack the power cord for my dad's dialysis machine. They were pretty anxious. Fortunately, Baxter, who had already shipped all the liquids he needs to us also shipped us a power cord.
It just got here today and it's a regular ferret-face computer cord. We have extras already.
I guess I shouldn't have assumed they had already looked at the socket, but I was assuming it must have some stupid proprietary connector on it, or have a built in transformer.
Nope. Just a regular computer power cord. Which Baxter overnighted to us. I opened up the package to look at it and just didn't even know what to say.
