Thanks Dorothy, Z and Jacey
I do have a pair of those chains for my boots. They really help in feeding the horses in the morning when it is icey. I will have to try the cooking oil when the weather gets warmer again. Right now it's in the teens and no problem with sticking. The sun is shining and it is beautiful.
We are supposed to get another snowstorm on Tuesday night into Wednesday. I may try to get my tractor going as my grandson is so busy with job and college. I started my pick up and the tractor a couple of days ago to let them run for awhile. No problem with the PU clutch but the tractor's is very hard to push down. Will see, but it is a lot easier than shoveling the snow. I have a bucket and a blade on my tractor. My house is a ways into my property and so have avery long driveway.
My thigh muscles are still weak. That is why the stairstepper may help. Yes, Z, it is like walking upstairs and never down. I still take mostly only one step at a time on regular stairs yet. Actually one of the exercises from my PT is to step up a step.
Yes, taking it easy is one of the hard things to do. I count teh steps on the stair stepper and don't go by minutes. The first day I did 150 and it was easy, so I thought I could increase a bit and did 500 the next day. My thigh muscles were really twitching that evening while resting. So, I slowed down the next day a bit. At the health club and also at work I always take the stairs.
Am still using the cane, so hopefully I can chuck that thing soon.
Well, patience and more patience. I'll get there.
Usually I snowshoe a lot during the winter, and now two winters in a row no go. Last winter I was recouperating from a broken ankle. I am finding as the years go by, it takes longer and longer to get back into shape.
I'll get there. :biggrin:
