Multiple Sclerosis - Cold Weather Blues

It's only the middle of November and my body is already reacting to the cold weather. With the wind chill, it was 23 degrees at the farm this morning and my legs didn't just react to the temperature, they pretty much shut down. Walking was so difficult that I wasn't able to bring Bouffe out of his stall, much less ride him.

I know the worst is yet to come. The only way I will be able to ride is in the late morning or early afternoon, when the temperature has warmed up a little. I can't ride any later then that because of the MS related fatigue, I am done for the day by 3 PM. I haven't talked to Leslie yet about my proposed changes; so, I hope Friday morning will be a little warmer.
