The cold weather is harder now on my DH--for some reason he just can't keep warm unless it's hot out. His poor body is always cold when I rub him and his hand and feet are like ice. I do make him wear slippers and socks which he never did before. I'm considering getting him one of those warm up throws to wear over his lap while he is in his chair because keeping the heater at a higher temperature is starting to be costly--but if need be we will just do it anyhow. I also always worry about my outside animals in the extreme cold although they do have shelters and plenty of blankets. I just don't like the cold much anymore--never use to bother me but now it's not me so much just everything I care about so I worry!
Location: Finally made it to Florida and lovin' every minute!

We women are born nurturers. We live, therefore we worry. You wouldn't be cyn unless you did so. Glad hubby had a good day and that you did as a result. HUgs!
Nice to read DH had a good day how about try using an electric blanket where he sits? That wouldn't be running constantly like a space heater does and it would use less electricity I would imagine. We lose body heat through our head too how about him wearing a sock hat in the house? At least some things to think about.
We got 2" of snow last night but the wind is making drifts like 10' tall. I'm staying inside.

When I lived up north I always wore a toke in the house in the winter and especially when I slept...to keep me warm. I also wore socks to bed for the same reason. If your feet and your head are warm....you have it pretty much made.
Thank you to everyone for the kind words either through private messages or on this forum. They are much appreciated at this time and will give me strength to face what is surely ahead for my family. Dad had a nice day today and the medicine keeps him comfortable and pain free...I'll take as many of these good days as I can get.
I'm sure you will treasure those days. And my best wishes and prayers for you and your loved ones.
You have to know that your Dad will always know of your love and respect for him, and I'm sure he treasures the good days that you and your family share with him, too.
I am so tired of drizzle/rain/cloudy weather. I do miss my CA weather. I had no idea this area had so much cloud cover and drizzle. I can take the hard summer rains but his is stupid! Day after day of just nothing but dampness!
