Seaglass,

I was terminated from my job and in retrospect it was probably better for me. My workplace could never have accommodated me and in the end this was a blessing, because I think it is going to take me much longer than I anticipated to regain enough strength to do every day chores.

Try wrapping your cold limb in thin memory foam, maybe you could make a sleeve and a mitten. I used a heating pad and electric blanket on high this past summer, I still resort to this duo on certain days, but I have found that memory foam slippers helps my foot warm up so I am not chained to an electric outlet all day.
