For me, the amount of pain has remained constant no matter the temperature,
but my energy level and balance have really gone downhill. Unfortunately I
have been told that this is NOT unusual weather for KS and it will probably
get worse mid-August. Oh Lord!
My congregation has been very supportive but I must admit I have
thought about moving back to WV or PA where we did not have quite the
extreme summer heat. But I HATE giving in. My wife tells me I need to
remember the words STUBBORN and STUPID both are found in the same area in
the dictionary.

I used to believe heat and humidity made my condition worse....now I am not
really sure. I pretty much decide each day how I am feeling by the amount of
banding in my legs and stomach. On really bad days the banding is painful
and makes walking both difficult and exhausting. The problem is that I have
good and bad days all thru the year...good weather or bad...hot ...or
cold.......I suppose the good news is that I will probably feel the same no
matter where I retire.

Janet,
I'm not really wise...... :) I just go to Environment Canada and check the
temps. It is usually in Centigrade but then if you click on the C it will
convert it to Farenheit. However, a quick way I convert when not near the
computer is I double the current Celcius then add 32 degrees and minus about
4 degrees. Example..... plus 29C would be 29 plus 29 plus 32 - 4 equals
approx 86 Farenheit. LOL
Yes, I too prefer the heat to the cold. Right this minute it is 12:34 pm.
Calgary time. The Celcius temps is plus 16 C or 62 F according to
Environment Canada.
It has been quite cool here in Calgary this summer with a ton of big
thunderstorms, large hail and wind and that is all in one day. For the
first time in it's 98 year history the Calgary Stampede had to cancel the
evening Chuckwagon races and the big Grandstand show due to rain, wind,
hail, etc.
Unlike Eastern Canada who have been sweltering in hot very humid conditions.
I prefer this cooler version of summer. Even with the rain because my
muscles do not seize up as much as they do in the winter with the cold and
snow.
Wherever you are fellow TMer's I hope you are all having a good day.

I know the heat is tough on us with TM, what weather isnt? But . . . I
much prefer the heat to the cold. Of course where I live it doesnt get
that hot, only around 29 Celcius, and I am sorry to my American friends but
I am not sure how much that is in Farenheit. Perhaps around 85? Heather
from Calgary will know, because Heather, you are wise.

Well, here in Elvisland, my back yard (in the shade) hit 99.7º a bit after
12 noon.
At 8:30 PM it was down to 91.0º......!!!! Wow.
