I'm game -- my hobby is playing classical music. I'm a horn player in a local orchestra. Needless to say, because of my patella break, I'm sitting out the current concert series....

Well, my hobby turned into something that I am very active in and care very much about. I am a AAA Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician and I work with various health and law enforcement agencies to help educate parents on how to correctly install and use their child's car safety seat.
Nearly 95% of car seats in my area are installed incorrectly, and many of these mistakes can be fatal. That is something we work very hard to get across to the parents so that they are always sure the seat is in right. We also promote safER practices with child passenger safety.

Well....most of my hobbies were sports (i.e., soccer, gymnastics, water-skiing, hiking, running, etc. etc. etc)
But now, I concentrate on my poetry. I've won lots of awards & am currently working on a book (although it's been very slooooooooooooooooooooooow).
I would also have to say that shopping is my hobby (hehe) I am addicted & love to shop since I've been injured.
I really need to have more "indoor" hobbies now that I'm disabled...

Well, all of my hobbies are sport related, all taken away cuz of those stupid ACL tears. Wrestling, Soccer, Football and basketball are all knee related activities.
I have a few hobbies to do while injured. I often like to take a 1 mile walk on crutches everyday. Everyday when I wake up, I touch and kinda massage my scars. I dunno, I just kinda feel like doing it. I also keep a count of my scars. 9 on my right knee and 2 on my left knee and 2 on each shoulder.

hobbies? I guess you need free time for those
I am very athletic, playing soccer, running, basketball, rollerblading. I have also done some coaching (soccer-goalkeepers). I am thinking about becoming a ref.
I think I now consider sleeping a hobby since I've been so busy I really don't get enough. On my days off, I think thats what I mostly do.

I build engines
Working on a dragster engine out in the shop right now, thankfully it doesn't require the use of my knees minus moving the occasional 300 lb engine block across the shop

Riding horses.
Especially a big Hairy one called Kitty
I also have played piano for 20 years, started when I was only wee, 3
I love to do artwork and write letters. I am an outdoor enthusiast but with every passing year I am less and less able to do all the things I love.
I like to Canoe, Kayak, hike, camp , cycle (can't do that anymore) Roller Blade (can't do that anymore)
I used to be a competitive cross country runner , but I had to give that up when I was 15.
Course right now, my hobbbies are more like, icing my knees, seeing my chiropractor and doing physio...Staring at the phone waiitng for surgery date for my left knee
Ohwell..still lot's I can do
