@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!
