_ **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! ---

_ **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 :)**_ _ **Linda** _ ---

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 ---
