Hubby is bored out of his mind and is driving himself crazzzzzy. He has a lot of time on his hands and it needed to be filled. Here’s a list to help make the most of your down time after surgery.

1.    Clean off your desk and sort out the pile of mail, bills, catalogues etc., that has been piling up on kitchen counter since before your surgery.

2.    Go sit out on your deck or porch for awhile each day and get some fresh air, pray, meditate and animal watch while enjoying a beverage

3.    Download music & movies(legally) from the Internet; have more music & Movies than you could ever utilize in 2 lifetimes.

4.    Read all the magazines and books that are piling up for than rainy day.  The rainy days are here.

5.    Play classic board games with your friends and family – Monopoly, Scrabble, Clue, Risk…  Or Play Independent games-Solitaire Angry Birds, Cube World, Owl Boy, Ibb and Obb, Mega Run, Mega Jump…

6.    Watch Old movies from the 40’s – 60’s.  These movies are said to be more uncomplicated and leisurely to watch.  Especially great if you are on several medications.
