Hummer, I know how you feel. I am a painter and the last year I've been unable to stand at my easel. I tried to sit but that is also uncomfortable.
But, guess what? I found something I can do leaning back in my recliner. I have been doing portraits in oil pencils. Everyone that sees them wants me to do them. This is so gratifying because I am making someone else smile. Now that, is what life is all about isn't it?
