What to do when you can't do anything.

I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOARD!!!! Any suggestions about what to do this week while I'm laid up?

I sorry, you mean sick, injured? What happened? Maybe I missed it.....I just don't want to make a bunch of suggestion that are impossible .

Sorry I should have re-stated it in my post, I'm home on bedrest for another week because of a large very painful ovarian cyst. So any suggestions for things that don't require movment would be awsome!

Sudoku puzzles!

I'm so sorry! For thew lack of better words, that sucks ! I'm a busy body, but I definitely enjoy laying back and enjoying a good movie, or reading a good book. Hope you feel better soon!

I would also say good books and good movies!

I hope you feel better soon.

Is your checkbook balanced?

Oh yeah! I forgot the most important suggestion!
The TCS forums!

you could crochet something

All great suggestions, I will most likey give them all a try! Thanks TCSers!

Love and cuddle with your kitties.

I hope you feel better soon.

Netflix instant viewing!

Read a book that will take you all week. My suggestions: Gone With the Wind or The Thorn Birds!!

All great suggestions! I wish I had one or three for you.

I agree...lots of time for books and movies! And naps of course

Are you able to sit up? If you can sit up or prop up you could do some painting (I find paint by numbers really pass the time because of how much you concentrate), play cards (solitaire if you don't have someone to play with), coloring books (I know it sounds childish but I find it relaxing).....

As others have suggested: reading, crafts (cross stiching, crochet, knit, etc), doing up paperwork if you have any, internet research/play/movies/etc., writing (if you like to write), ohhhh here's one I would do : Organise my recipes I have so many magazines with one or two recipes that I need to cut out and put in my recipe book that cupboard is a mess but some could bring the contents to my bed and I could organise the recipes/plan some meals, etc.

Of course, TSC.....hmmmmm, too bad we didn't have a chatroom.

Wow! Thanks everyone, now I don't knwo where to start!


Of course... I could just do my HW, but why add torture to a bad situation!

OHH, I forgot about that! Last time I was laid up for a few weeks (complications from surgery), reading and watching movies got boring after awhile. I had a huge incision from a hysterctomy and could prop up enough to work a coloring book and color by number set. It DOES sound childish but you'd be suprised how relaxing it is! It keeps your mind off your tummy

You're right, don't do anything that's frustrating. It's your time to just relax and take it easy!
