It's official winter is creeping in and oh, do I feel the chill! I am not a fan of the cold or the snow, I can appreciate it so it much better from my window! So we have the first real snow and yes it is beautiful... to look at, but when I even think about going out, I see a very real image of the beautiful white snow and me on my back with my legs in the air thinking... oh you knew better!!!
With that said, we are expecting a couple of inches of snow tonight and being the smart,
ever-thinking woman that I am, I planned for a day such as this. I have leave (at work) so that I can take off when needed. You see, lymphedema is so unpredictable, I never know when I will be in pain or when conditions will be too hazardous for me to walk with the confidence that's needed. Some of this may be be my own insecurities and fears yet at the same time it's all very real.
Even when planning for days such as this, things come up and so it did. Tomorrow is supposed to be a nasty day especially in the morning (so the weather man says) but all the leave in the world does not prevent me from going out because why? I have a training (job related). So early in the morning I will put on my boots, my scarf, hat and gloves, button my coat to the neck and pray my way to the car. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can and then I know I can, I know I can, I know I can and guess what...I will. So if you are riding by and you see the bottom of a woman's boot in the air..."it ain't me" lol
