Back Surgery - Ten Things to Do While Recovering From Back Surgery
Okay you're flat on your back recovering from back surgery and bored out of your mind! Here's ten ideas to help you pass the time and something you need to know if you're contemplating surgery.
1.
Surf the net.
See what the rest of the world is searching for using Google trends.
This is what I'm doing laptops are light and work great lying on your tummy.
Try putting a pillow under neath the laptop to prop it up.
2.
Play solitaire.
Serious there are games that can be played by yourself.
Or go to a gaming website, log in and you may be playing checkers with a person in New Zealand! 3.
Do you like to read? Now's a great time to read those classics you always wanted to read.
You know books like: To Kill a Mocking Bird, A Catcher in the Rye, The Grapes of Wrath, The Old Man and the Sea, The Great Gatsby, The Call of the Wild, War and Peace.
Your library will have these on the shelf just waiting for you to take home and enjoy.
4.
Listen to books on CD.
Sometimes it's easier to listen to a book than to read, very relaxing.
Again available at your library.
5.
Movies: Check out the selection at the library.
Okay enough of the library, but it really is a good source for free entertainment.
