Wind instruments are much harder to learn later in life because our ability to adapt to new experiences and learn new languages (music is a sort of language) diminishes. The muscle memory required is pretty extensive. Not that you can't learn a wind instrument, but you'll need a lot of time to do it.
Guitar might be more fulfilling than bass if you just play by yourself, or, at least, cheaper if you start with an acoustic guitar or a classical guitar. Banjo, ukulele, mandolin (if you have good ears for tuning), lute, mountain dulcimer, hammer dulcimer, and the autoharp are also good suggestions for string instruments that you could probably learn fairly easily. I'd avoid anything that requires a bow, because it isn't easy to get a good sound on a bowed instrument.
You might want to get into digitally making music. It isn't the same as organic music, but the versatility is there and it might be a little easier to work with. Just an idea...
Hope I have been of some help.
