Question:

Any post-surgery advice?? i'm stuck at home for weeks!?

I just had surgery done a week ago or so, I'm supposedly stuck at home healing for the next 4-6 weeks! I've already watched every movie I can get my hands on, convinced all my friends to visit, written, read, made art......now I feel like I'm going crazy! Any suggestions on how to keep yourself from getting depressed when you're healing? Also, any other medical type advice would also be useful!


Answers:

I have been stuck at home due to many surgeries and this is what I have done:
-watched movies (gets boring tho)
-did mad libs (with someone else who was at my house or visited)
-made a list of things I want to do before I die
-did word searches and cross words
-watched all the seasons of certain shows
-helped my mom decide on re-decortating the house
-wrote letters to people
-doodled
-slept
-make a list of the first 10 things i wanted to do when i could leave the house
-read books (interesting ones) and magazines
-shopped on-line
-organize pictures (its fun to go thru old pics... and put them together)
um... if i think of anything else I will let you know.. i promise.
i know how much it sucks to be home for that long... i was home for 2 & 1/2 months... and the one time I left the house, I went to the mall and saw my surgeon (not good!) lol.
Good Luck!!!
