Have Any of You Started a New Hobby While On Dialysis?

Yes, a hobby you have started doing while you are doing dialysis

I find i nap more, which is a good thing 

Other than that, I either watch tv or i'm on the laptop.

This week I started writing my Yearly Christmas cards. I have gotten a lot of them done while sitting in the chair. I find I just have too many distractions at home to get motivated and sit down and write them....so.....may as well get it all done while being strapped down to a chair for 4 hours

I read and write. I am bicycling on my three wheeler more.  I work out around three times a week now.

Our unit is supposed to be starting an exercise program while on D this coming year, I think maybe in January. I have volunteered to be a guinea pig.   It's a cycle and apparently it's done in the first couple of hours of D, every 30 mins on, 30 mins off is how it works. I can't wait to start it. It will pass some time then too!

I started playing video games on my daughter's DS.  I also read and did suduko puzzle books.  When I had my chest catheter I was able to embroidery or knitting while on Hemo.  I was always kind of worried that I'd get blood on the things I was working on but It never happened.  On PD I studied for school and watched a bunch of movies.
