Being

the geek I am, I have gotten back into playing Dungeons and Dragons

after a gap of 20+ years. It is nice to be around people period. They

have all been extremely understanding about my limitations. Sometimes I

can participate, sometimes I just zone out, sometimes I don't make it

at all. But I know that every Wednesday there is something I can look

forward to attending. If I miss it, it goes on without me. They catch

me up when I return. And I do so hate missing it.

I would

encourage you to pick two topics: chronic pain and one that is

unrelated to chronic pain. Something you enjoyed before chronic pain or

something you think you would enjoy talking to other people about.

Watching birds at the feeder, cooking, NASCAR, sports, movies, books,

whatever

Hi

I believe having fun, or learning something interesting, is an excellent. I want

to do things that do not focus on my pain.

A Feisty Australian female member posted several years ago for us to " not become

our pain " , I believe this is one way to do it.

Lyndi, I am sure you know who I mean, maybe you can remember her name.
