well unfortunately , we have to face the cold and very icy conditions, of winter. so just be very , very careful PLEASE, as you know you could slip on the ice. so what I am doing to ensure that I will continue to get my twice a day walk , in so I don"t have to worry about slipping and falling on ice , or snow, I am now going for a walk, in the mall. yes because of Christmas it is very busy that's for sure , but I would much rather face the crowds then break a hip, and the positive of being in the mall is you can now shop for your significant other . and of coarse it is very warmer , and when I deal with cold I tend to get tone kinda like spasticity, so to avoid that problem, I stay warm and less spasticity, and since I am there in the mall, I just shop.so please take heed, this is the time where lots of accidents happen in the very cold and winter months so stay safe and keep on walking. I always go walking to the mall with a mall walker friend that way when we meet we can have a cup of coffee together go for a bit to eat and just have a great stroll in the mall works great, and the most important thing is it is very, very safe . so stay safe and stay warm and enjoy your day and a very, very merry Christmas to you!!!
