Cold with metal
« on: December 06, 2013, 07:23:33 PM »
I'm sure I'm not the only one here with a few metal accessories in them. Few screws here, pins and a plate there, oh what's that, shrapnel over there. Most of the time it's not bad, but man when those metal screws or pins get cold  :bdid:. 4-6 hours of hugging the stove and they finally warm back up. In January I'm probably looking at a few more screws, in a finger tip this time. I am hoping that some hand warmers and this insulated hand pouch thingy I have should keep it where I can still whack a few yotes.(physical therapy is supposed to start the day after surgery, after that its spiritual therapy time  :chuckle: :chuckle:) I am looking for other ideas and suggestions though, maybe you have a trick I don't know for keeping these freaking metal accessories warm that I don't know. :dunno: Ideas? Thoughts?

I get an ache in the left wrist that I broke 3 years ago in the cold...and I don't even have any metal in it!  I'm finding out that the abuse we give our bodies at an early age comes back to haunt us as we get older.  even stuff we think is long since healed.
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

When Bernie Madoff did it, it's called a "Ponzi Scheme"
When Government does it, it's called "Social Security"

I have a pacemaker implanted in my left upper chest......I need to keep my chest protected from the elements and keep the area warm.......if not I can feel it.......
Nothing like being 3 miles from the truck with a cell phone sized lump of ice in your chest. Never want to do that again........I wear a scarf from the back of my head around the neck and down into my shirt layers over my chest to keep that sucker warm.

No metal in me yet but where I cut my right middle finger off at the knuckle then had it sewn back on is a great indicator of cold weather.

Messed up back and knee I know when the weather is going to change and have for years. But no pins and metal for me, thank God!

I do not have any metal in me. But i take coumadin due to gulf war syndrome, and when my hands get cold they quit working. I can not feel them. And i am not exaggerating, they just quit working. And then they throb. It sucks

Wow WDFWHM!  That sucks!  Before my carpal tunnel surgery my hands would get stuck and I couln't hold anything.  With my back surgery, bad knees from football/rodeo/car crashes/falling off roofs etc and neck injury from rodeo/car crashes, on days that are below 25 degrees it is tough to get anything to move.  That is when the Advil comes out.  Sitting in a treestand in - temps kills me but it is better than sitting on the couch.  The rest of me does not get cold easily but it is the bones holding me together that seem to take the worst of it.
