What are some of the activities that you enjoy with your sufferer? I don't know if it is the winter blahs, or just being stuck in a rut... but I'm looking for some suggestions for new, non-stressful activities. I think we are growing cobwebs over here. :sleep:
 
Unfortunately we are the get together and watch movies type. We've gone out to lunch twice, a concert once, and a ren faire once. I wish I could get him to go out more. Fingers crossed for my birthday. Hope you get some fun ideas.
 
We have been doing the movie night thing to death lately. He even seems bored and restless... which I usually take as a good sign that he is ready to go out and blow the stink off.

We are outdoorsy in the warmer months. We try to find ADA approved trails that are flat and short enough that he can manage them on his cane, and take a lot of photos of the scenery. We go offroading sometimes, and he enjoys thoroughly scaring the bejeezus out of me (he's an old hand at it... I'm still a newbie). He's been teaching me to shoot, and that's a fun outing. I usually let him decide when he wants to go to the range though, because he has days where he is not up to the sound of gunfire. He has a motorcycle and loves to ride... but he has some paralysis on one side and I'm leery to ride too far with him lest I make balancing more difficult.

We can do museums, as long as they are not super-crowded or require a lot of standing or walking without places for him to rest up. We need to find more cold weather things. :/
 
Maybe you just need to thing about your clothing. You can do most "warm weather things" like sports in the winter when you got the right clothes.

Do you like cooking together? We do. Or reading together? We do. Those are low-key activities and not very exiting but we still enjoy it.
 
Would be fun if we could share recipes. Because we would love some original US recipes. Would you like to try some from our country?
