I have severe chronic pain, when it's bad I'm housebound, when it's good I'm lucky to go out at all. Prior to this happening to me, I was a gigging musician, going to culinary school as well. Spent a large portion of my time since it all started avoiding cooking and music altogether, both of which I'm now occasionally able to enjoy in moderation. I also picked up programming, Linux computing and microcontroller projects, 3d printing, modeling for both animation and CAD, some creative writing, kombucha brewing, even been recording some of my music lately.
