I still do quilting, and scrapbooking. It hurts, but I do it for only about 20 mins. like Victoria, and then move onto something else. I am taking a class this fall that will help me to update my math skills. If I ever decide to go back to University that will be one more step forward.
I take it one day at a time, and try new things. If it hurts I stop, and move on.
