Cold and stubborness don't mix

Went cross country skiing today with a group of friends and of course hubby. Had a great day. The sun was out, it had just freshly snowed alot lol, the trail was groomed perfectly. Should of been a perfect day. Then bang there it was "TN pain" The cold which I know does hit me. Soooo unbelievably frusrating, yesterday so excited about a peanut butter sandwich and today could barely talk or eat because I spent the afternoon out in the fresh air and sun...REALLY?? Well I'm sorry nerve you are just going to have to get over yourself because I am not going to sit around in the house on such a beautiful day and watch everyone else enjoy it!!!!!!

Maybe I have the wrong attitude and am being too stubborn for my own good but I did not go through what I did to still have to say "No I'm sorry I can't do that".

Let's beat it...let's show it who is boss!!!! :)

Do you have a neoprene mask or something like that? It can REALLY keep the wind off of you so you can enjoy it! Good luck!

You go girl, you have TN, but it does not have YOU!

I have to admit today was a morphine day...alot of pain but hey so it was a morphine day, not the end of the world. Hubby went skiing again but I bowed out, stubborn but not stupid lol. I spent time with my daughter at the pool and hot tub so still had another good day. Monday morning I can say..."had a great weekend thanks" and mean it.

Have a good pain free day everyone :)

You so encourage me!! I am feeling so dejected right now. I needed this kick in the backside to get me facing tomorrow! GO GIRL YOU CAN DO IT!! blessings and hugs~~

In the winter when I am out running, I use a balaclava mask. I am able to pull it down on my chin and it keeps my face a bit warmer. Sorry to hear that you are going through that and I agree, nerve, you are just going to have to take a back seat!!! Wish it would really listen. :(

Im still taking morphine to keep the pain down since Saturday's skiing trip. Hope it calms down soon. I read online about getting wind in your ear, could that be it since I am still healing from a MVD? I am going to take better care of myself outside while skiing(yes I am still going), not the big trips anymore for now but the smaller ones. Thanks for all the advice on how to keep my face warm.

Here is a funny story for everyone...I Hate Hats!!! even as a kid I use to bury them and tell my grannie I lost them..lol. for now I am going to wear hoodies and ear muffs. That should be ok, eh? Yes I am from Canada.lol

Have a great pain free day :) Care about you all

Since my MVD and have gotten back to work and have been doing normal stuff around the house again also getting out with friends I just have a new strength. I want this over and my life back. Maybe I have been pushing it but I am so done with it all. Happy to hear it encourages you as well. YOU GO RIGHT ALONG WITH ME!! Hugs back to you
