I suggest you get some ice grips to put over your shoes if you need to go out in icy conditions.

I've taken a liking to my Red Wings now that the snow has hit. I never realized how many people are out and about in winter with shoes that are just asking for a slip and fall. It is a double edged sword because I feel more prone to slipping given my balance/vision is not 100% and I can't afford the fall as much as a normal person.

I have had scares like this before. I find that just forcing the conscious thought that it did nothing starts to help change the situation and widen my perspective on it. It's easy to get caught in the anxiety loop and the fear of a relapse, but I have learned to tell myself that I made it through it once and I am better prepared if I have to do it again.
