Winter is coming

Before CRPS hearing that winter is coming would have made me happy.  I loved snow, I loved sweaters and hoodies, I loved warm boots.  Now I still love all that but CRPS puts a damper on it.  My pain levels are so much higher on a daily basis in the winter. I can't go out and play in the snow.  Wearing shoes hurts so bad and in the winter you NEED something on your feet.  I settle for fur lined slippers and fur lined boots a size too big.  At home though,  I am still barefoot since having anything on my foot makes it discolored and hurt more. This past weekend I had a craft show I participated in.  My family carried everything to and from the van for set up and take down and during the show I got to sit the whole time.  Pain was up and I fought crying all day.  We get home and I napped but the pain woke me up. I did some range of motion exercises to try and work out the pain and keep up range of motion so I don't lose use of my leg....
