We did some more experiments today and the results were surprising.
Today, instead of throwing more hot water into the air, my wife suggested we do the Mentos in Diet Coke experiment. I figured, what the heck, what else do we have going on? We went to the store and purchased the materials and headed outside. We started with a 1.25L and then a 2L. Both results sucked. It looked nothing like it should so my daughter and I went inside in the warm air and tried again with another 1.25L. Good thing I didn't go with the 2L. The geyser reaction of Diet Coke nearly hit the ceiling in the bathroom. Thankfully it stopped just short. The reaction was more like what I expected. So the air temperature directly relates to the results.
Since my diagnosis of CRPS my biggest concern has been temperature. Summer time is the best time of year. The tightness isn't as prominent and that unpredictable burning sensation feelings are much less than in the the winter where cold temperature forecasts stress me out because everything is 10 times worse the colder it is. After my surgery on Tuesday my CRPS symptoms are no longer the same. Yes, my foot is still cooler to the touch compared to the left foot, and yes it is still tight, but it's -2 degrees right now and I even spent a little time standing around outside. Normally, I try to avoid going out at all costs when the temperature is below 10. There really seems to be a change in what's happening within my body and it's exciting.
