It has been cold, damp and raining since last night. It didn't stop the trick or treaters, but it sure stopped me from riding today.
I could have ridden in the rain; the outdoor ring drains well, but gets very deep, which is not to Bouffe's or his old bowed tendons liking. Or, I could have tried Bouffe again in the indoor. But neither of these were an option, because my MS has flared up again.
One of the most prevalent things that brings on an MS attack is the heat, but not with me. With me it is the cold. I have to be careful in the heat, but my MS rages every winter and when it rains or snows it is even worse, with muscle spasms and increased numbness in my legs, which is what happened today. Just the little change in temperature along with the dampness was all my MS needed to show its ugly head.
After living with this for many years I have gotten used to missing things I wanted to do, but it is still disappointing. I hope by Monday I will be well enough to ride.
