I am wondering what new things you are learning and what hobbies you have found. I believe our brains have lots to do with how we process pain. My neuropathy was and is for the most part, not so challenging. But the shin shave biopsy must have damaged some tiny nerves and my leg still does not feel the same 6 months later. I want to believe my neurologist who says my prognosis for healing is "good." Still, I am impatient and want to heal sooner rather than later. The new things I am learning include being more body aware and to be more mindful of how environment and foods affect me. I am trying not to dwell on what was my "wrong turn". Have doctors given you a way of practicing balance? It is important. Wishing you well.

@arcuri24 I have been living alone for almost 10 years. So I have the time to explore and learn about all sorts of new hobbies I have seen on YouTube or Face Book. I’ve actually started my Family Tree on Ancestry, and work on the world-wide tree on Wikitree. I love learning history, and how I am connected to people.
Then I started to try painting. I bought a few canvases, acrylic paint, brushes and a small easel. I decided to try watercolors, alcohol ink, and now I’m trying to add molding paste to my paintings.
I have no training, and it shows…I do whatever…
Jigsaw puzzles are also a new thing. I work on them while I eat.
I would love to do fused glass again, but arthritis has caused me problems in my fingers.
Living alone after years of taking care of everyone else has made me more creative and I have the time. I’m almost 77 and doing well…
