    What hobbies do you have that are a distraction from living with pulmonary fibrosis?

    I have long been a ham radio operator. I do enjoy speaking with people around the world from my home without using the internet. 

    Do you have a way to escape living with pulmonary fibrosis?

    I enjoy shooting. I have my own range on my property and try to get some trigger time daily.

    Sporting Clays along with Skeet and Trap are good outdoor hobbies that require little exertion. You can take a cart at most sporting clays places.

    Bocce is always a limited exertion game. It is not easy to excel but we have a frail 94 year old who is a champion and very accurate with a bocce ball.

    I make art. I love to paint in watercolours and acrylic. You loose yourself in it. Forget about all your problems

    My husband likes to fly his drone. He can sit on the deck in the backyard or we can go for a ride to the beach or lake.

    It is such a diverse group of diversions to enjoy.

    I spend endless hours doing watercolor paintings. I generally use reference photos I’ve taken on various trips over the years or simply from walks in my neighborhood. It gives me the joy of both memories and being creative. I also do clay sculpting, which is lots of fun. And from time to time, I pull out my violin which I love, but can play only for short times.

    I am learning woodworking. I did carpentry (not professionally) but that is a bit too physical now.

    I am also tying fishing flies again. That is well within my energy level.
