With my pain, my only hobbies right now are watching TV and movies (mostly at home, I'm not usually up for going to a theater), and the internet. My boyfriend bought me a laptop for my birthday, last fall, and that thing sits on my lap every night. I play an online game, which my boyfriend introduced me to, called PlayNileOnline. It is a city building game, set in ancient Egypt.
We live in a townhouse, and the past two summers I have grown tomatoes, and some herbs, on our deck. But this year, I don't know if I will be able to do it. If it is to happen, my boyfriend would have to help me get them started, and then if I have surgery, hopefully I will be ambulatory enough to take care of them. We'll see.
Oh yes, reading too, science fiction/fantasy are my favorite genres. But with the meds I am taking it is hard to concentrate. I hope I can get back to reading and enjoying it again.
