Attacking the cold weather head-on. This is the gear that kept me active and surviving the cold winter months.

It is pretty remarkable how quickly the body can shut down when you proverbially (or literally) hit the wall. For me, it was a morning in early November 2019 when I woke up like any other day, except my right leg refused to walk. I could tell from both the intense pain in the joint, and its unwillingness to support any real weight or motion, that something was wrong.
