Ten ways to keep you more or less bored when on bed rest

Well I have really done it this time. Doctor required me to bed rest for a week and no work. So what do you do when you pretty much have to stay laying down either in bed or on the floor.


1. Read until your eyes are too tired to read anymore
2. Watch movies, DVDs and television until your tired of that source of entertainment
3. Listen to your mp3 player and play with other features to keep occupied
4. Work on your computer laptop until the battery dies on you then wait
5. Try to get family to stop working or doing whatever they are doing to have talking time
6. Call friends or family long distance to talk with them also
7. Sleep way too much
8. Pet your cat and any other family pet that comes close enough to touch
9. Try to get up at least three times a day to take care of hygiene and other personal cares
10. Take your pain meds on time to keep most of the pain away and try not to scream when it hurts.

Repeat as often as needed to keep from going crazy.
