I also love art and try to keep my hands busy, I was a pastry chef so I like making edible flowers and doing paintings, sewing ect. Then I do alot of puzzles whether regular puzzles or word games just to keep my mind going.

Alaska49,
It is amazing how much joy our furry friends can bring us! I have 2 dogs myself and like you, I smile and sometimes even giggle at the silly things they do. So glad yours alert you to pending trouble - that is awesome!!
My husband and I also started doing puzzles together. We have a designated table set up with one we are working on, this makes it easy to stop at any time and put a few pieces in. For me it is a great distraction even if only for a few minutes when pain is skyrocketing!
mmmm pastry chef.. oh my goodness you can come for a visit to Seattle anytime!
Thank you for taking the time to share - I have a few more ideas of things I can try now.
Have a great day!
Tessa
