Am I gonna Freeze to death?

I'll chime in here too.  I too am so cold.  This is from a person who was so hot natured.  Before I got married, in the winter, I would open my window, turn down my covers on the bed and close the door.  My bed would be nice and icy cold then by the time I went to bed.  I would always sleep with my feet out from under the covers because I couldn't sleep if my feet were hot.  Makes me cold now just typing this.  After surgery, I am now turning on my electric mattress pad on high about an hour before bed so it will be nice and warm.  My hands are usually cold, and I sit in the house with sweats, socks, and a heavy robe.  I am curious why the surgery makes such a drastic difference.  For the first time, I am looking forward to summer.  Michael

I am also always soooooo cold, this is coming from someone that prior to surgery rarely used the heat in the winter now it's cranked up to 80 all the time. I can deal with it though as opposed to the alternative.

glad to know i am not alone .i stay so cold i been wearing insulated underwear. lol

I would like to say that you WONT freeze to death but I am still thinking that I am going to freeze!!!!!!  :) I sleep with 3 blankets plus an electric blanket!

Hey there! I haven't been on lately and haven't posted in a while. I just have to say I am freezing my buns off!!! When I get home from work every day, I put on sweats, socks, a few shirts, my hoody and wrap up in  my fuzzy blanket. lol I sleep like that too!!! There have been VERY few nights I've slept without my hoody and socks over the last few months. I'm VERY much looking forward to the summer!!! :)

I was the one who never wore shoes because my feet would sweat even in the winter I went without a coat so much that my coat that is 4 years old still looked pretty new, I was the one yelling to my DD that  she was burning me up with the heater and to turn my AC back down in the summer. I looked forward to winter so I could be comfortable, WELLLLLLL That has definately all changed. My cold blooded DD is telling me it  is too hot and I am still cold. I swear I cant get the bath hot enough either. I will literally be lobster red and my kids cant touch me and I am still hunting more ho****er.  I am so looking forward to warmer weather.

Layers.  I am wearing a tank top and a long sleave thermal shirt, socks, jeans and boots-today was a light day......If I'm not going out of the house or the backyard, I will wear cotton pj pants underneath fleece sweat pants....if the day warms up, I start peeling down-if not, I just keep adding layers.

Coming from a walking hot flash, I will welcome the cold. I never wear coats and sleep with an electric blanket but have the ceiling fan on as well as a box fan and my feet hanging out of the covers....I look forward to complaining about this! LOL Isn't it funny how this side of the fence is so different??
My advice would be get some of those light weight long handles! I used to have 3 pair. I tossed them but now wish I had them! Maybe they would help some...
Kim, I am so glad to see you doing so well....I mean even with the infection stuff, your attitude is wonderful! Keep up the good work girl!

KIM!!!! There's NOTHING wrong with you! I use to keep our thermostat on 65 degrees, because I was soooo HOT!! And now on 74 degrees, I'm making everyone else hot. And I have long sleeves, pants, and socks, and a throw blanket!! I literally freeze trying to go to sleep, thinking about investing in a thermal heating blanket. AWW!! Glad you post this, and I know there's nothing wrong with me!! LOL
