for sure ill take pics another day for you @Lee82
oh yes of course, theres no rush to start anything or at all really. I started off as just a little hobby and a play around thing too.

[Lee82]

Thanks for that @outlander .

Yea it would be nice to start something like that just to keep me distracted when I need to be. 

[outlander]

distractions are always welcomed! @Lee82 I hope youll find the time to do some soon

[Lee82]

I hope so too @outlander. it would be nice to have something to do that forces me to keep my mind active. These days concentrating on anything is real rough. 

[outlander]

yeah concentrating is something I struggle with too @Lee82

[Lee82]

That's one thing I don't know how to get back. My concentration use to be so great. I could sit and read for ages or do a puzzle but now forget it. My memory is also really bad. Somedays I can't remember anything about the day before. Even the little things like what we ate for dinner or what we watched in tv. Somedays when I hop in the car and drive somewhere I can't even remember how I got there. 

[outlander]

yeah same here @Lee82
I hope my concentration will come back more as I work through recovery.
ive taken to doing things in small amounts and acknowledging that I cant do things for hours on end like I could before and find things that don't take ages to do like my crocheting, its about an hour to make one piece so I can do them here and there without being too frustrated or running out of concentration

[Lee82]

It's  great to hear you have been able to acknowledge you can't do things for more than an hour and have adjusted things in your life to cater for that for now @outlander  Sounds like you are kind to yourself and accept how things are for now. That is amazing to hear and quite inspirational.
