Before MS came along, I sang in choruses, played the piano, did quite a bit of gardening outdoors and in, and I cooked.
After several decades with MS, the piano and the singing aren't possible, outdoor gardening is limited to a few patio plants, and cooking is really minimal.
For a number of years I played the recorder even though I had MS. I taught myself and had a good time with it but arthritis in my hands made it almost impossible to close the holes on the recorder in the right way.
I used to listen to music on the radio and recordings a lot.
Most of my adult life I've had a cat but since the last one died a year ago I haven't felt up to pet care.
I do tend to a few house plants and take photos now and then.
For many years I did a lot of counted cross stitch, needlepoint, knitting, crocheting, and quilting. I did teach myself to crochet. For the quilting I watched TV shows about it and got library books.
I knitted and crocheted quite a number of afghans, mostly as gifts for people, and a few sweaters, and I made needlepoint pillows as gifts too.
I haven't done knitting in years but can still crochet.
Do you enjoy writing? As tkrik suggested, you might try keeping a journal. Reading your journal later on can be fun and helpful too.
