How do you..

How do you kill time when you are on bed rest?

I buggered up my back and the Dr. wants me to have bed rest for a week while the meds help the muscles relax to the point where he can try and figure out why they spasmed to that extent (if its serious or not essential). But I am soooo bored! (there's only so much time you can spend watching movies on net flicks...especially when one of the meds makes me dizzy!). So give me ideas!

Re: How do you..

  • UGH! that sucks!!

    Read? Pinterest? Write letters? Learn to knit? Online "window" shopping?

  • Do you have Netflix? I think its still relatively cheap and can be cancelled if you don't want/need it after you're off bed rest.

    Read...call friends...take a bath?...you could join a survey website and do surveys and get money!

    This...I've joined several survey companies over the years and I bet I get about 20 of these things a week.  I got several "gift cards" through these that paid for all of my candles at the reception and also several other items.  They are great. 

  • Me? Write social media plans for agencies, standard operating procedures for interagency emergency management, and.... watch netflix :-)

    So all the things you've meant to do- write the thank you note to your friend you've always meant to appreciate. Create a plan for organizing the house. What have you always wanted to do for or with someone that you've never had time to do?

     Take on-line courses (FEMA has a whole suite of them) for free. 

    Good luck! I go insane when stuck at home much less stuck in one place so hopefully you can be up and about soon. 

  • When I'm laying around, I'm either reading a book, reading something on the internet, shopping online, or watching movies/TV.  Maybe watch an entire series?  Once on my school break I watched all (then) 55 episodes of The Office over a 3 day time span.  (I was bored, couldn't you tell?)

    Websites I like to read (besides TN!):

    http://www.postsecret.com/

    www.cracked.com

    deadspin.com (if you are into sports, any of the websites from that group - gawker, lifehacker, etc.)

    houzz.com

    Just to name a few =]  Hope you feel better soon!

  • Thanks guys, I cancelled my net flicks on Monday because my free trial was up and since I Have been off work for almost 2 weeks now I can't justify spending any money. Yesterday kind of sucked, today...I am feeling a bit better, still off work, but I might actually try and do laundry and start trying to stretch out my back a little at a time (but very little...since last time I decided it was just stiff and tried to use it, it landed me flat on my back again!).
