That's pretty great that you'll get to see your brother and enjoy a break from frigid Maine winters.
I was just looking at some heated ski gear because I also get very cold, very easily, very fast. I hate it, but I really enjoy skiing and I haven't figured out how to get the snow to stick around during the summer yet.
But anyway, there are all kinds of electric socks, undershirts, pants, gloves, etc out there that are very easy to use, with small rechargeable batteries. I wonder if those might help your joint pain, and get you back outside a little bit more? I finally bought some heated insoles for my ski boots this season and it is a game changer for keeping me out in the cold and enjoying myself. I gave a pair of heated socks to a snowboarder friend of mine and he absolutely loves them. I have a heated jacket that lets me get out on my motorcycle when it would otherwise be too chilly. Etc.
Maybe something like this would work for you?
Yeah. I’m going to start using rechargeable hand warmers and go from there. Thanks for your thoughtfulness. I appreciate it.
Good luck! I hope something works and gets you back out to enjoy yourself.
