Even, you try your best to avoid getting cold, or numb hands, they can get easily frozen, or it can be triggered by all kind of different reasons, such as stress, cold, flu, medication, or any food, and etc. You have to solve the problem before you get any damage to your veins.
I have taken this photo and fingers got sore, but who can resist in this beautiful weather. It is really good to have reusable instant thermal pads in the pockets. They give quick heat for some time. The only problem that they can be used ones and then you have to boil them to get it prepared for the next time. You can find them in any outdoor shop. I would like to buy the same which I can use inside the shoe but they need to be smaller. Do not forget about your feet.
Sometimes I have really sore hands and ordinary things start to make troubles. Holding cup, opening jars or bottles, getting off socket plugs, turning key etc. I got some useful things especially for the kitchen, see below. On the left picture, you can see scissors, pincers, and holder for unplugging things. On the right side, you can see blue non slip sheet. You can cut smaller piece, and you get almost miracle opener. Even my husband uses it for opening jars. 😌
Of course, painkillers is our everyday fate, but I am trying to lower the chemical stuff income. In the end all the medications have side effects, especially in the amount you have to use for those diseases, so better to be responsible and think before. Luck wishes to those who are prepared :-))))). Ok, that doesn't work so simply. And I will write about this later again.
I was told by my occupational therapist that it is very important to keep my neck up to chin in warm because if the vein going through the neck gets cold it cannot transport the heat anymore. So, I have hand made round tight scarf. I am trying to be active with my kids, so if go to skate or out for a longer time, I prepare thermos bottle with some warm juice for us. And I have always extra gloves for all of us.
Anyway, I can at least use it as an excuse to go and buy a take away coffee because I surely need warm drink ;-).
