What Distracts You From the Pain?

Hi @eirrol. Audio books and videos are a great distraction from pain. Thank you for sharing what helps you.
Pod casts, or even asking "Alexa" to tell you a joke or play specific music can be helpful. I've played memory games with Alexa for distraction, and they can get pretty challenging. Humor is a great distraction - there's nothing like laughter. 🤣 Do you watch funny movies?
I play meditation music for relaxation. Does your yoga cassette for PTS play calming music or does it speak as well?

@rwinney when I tore the meniscus in my right knee I was in a lot of pain.
I decided to join Ancestry and start my family tree. It was something I could do on my laptop sitting in the recliner with ice on my knee. I would work for 3 hours at a time totally immersed in building my tree. I didn’t notice the pain when I was enjoying myself.
Now, after 2 total knee replacement surgeries, I’m still plugging away at the never ending family tree. It’s a joy!
