I'm SO glad for you and the fact that you are able to "work thru the pain"!!! Unfortunately, my hobbies, including gardening, my 30 + house plants, chores like sweeping,mopping, that side to side motion, bending, stooping, lifting any size bag of trash, even picking up something causes my pain. Which feels like a concrete block sewn in to the middle of my back. But enough whining!!! I'm thrilled for you and that you have someone close who understands!!! Cudos for you. Your words, you, set an example that it can be done!! Thank you..for welcome g me into your group. I realizeI am not alone.

@lauren123 Congrats on getting an "Alexa" and how you've programmed it to help you with the type of information you want and need, rather than negative distractions. Did you know that Mayo Clinic is the first (and I think only) health organization that has developed health information specifically for Alexa?
We developed programs
1. Mayo Clinic News Network: you can get the latest information from Mayo Clinic experts on topics such as cancer, heart and brain health; transplant; advances in research; and advice for healthy living.
2. Mayo Clinic First Aid: provides you with self-care instructions for dozens of everyday mishaps and other situations and provides quick, hands-free answers from a trusted source.
You can read more about it and enable this "skill" from the Alexa Skills Store here: https://www.mayoclinic.org/voice/apps
I find this exciting.
Music is proven to help. There a great discussion and music and health in the Just Want to Talk group. Check it out here:

@lauren123, Golf became my outlet for sports after I had to stop playing all of the other sports. I love getting out to a nice secluded golf course in the early evening and letting the world fade away. Like you, however, I have barely played the last few years. I definitely to get back in to it!
