What do you do in your spare time?

[Guest guest]

My husband was diagnosed with RA a couple of weeks ago after months of

suffering. He feels lonely and useless. The dr has told him it will probably

take 2 - 3 months before the medication really kicks in. The prednisone he is

taking helps a little, but he is still left with a lot of fatigue and

unpredictable joint pain.

The activities he normally likes to do in the summer are not possible for him to

participate in at this time. Normally his summer is full of golf, kayaking,

fishing etc. The thought of not being up to his normal activity level has

really depressed him.

Right now I feel so guilty leaving him at home while I go off to work. By the

time I get home he is very lonely and bored out of his mind.

What are some activities/hobbies that might help distract him when he is home

alone?
