I’m Bored! Do’s and Don’ts

To help cope with boredom during your convalescence, consider engaging in the following activities:

Take short walks, slowly increasing in duration as your recovery permits…required!
Drink lots of water and eat healthy foods….required!
Watch DVDs and television programs
Read
Do crossword puzzles
Do “light” crafts projects like needlework and scrapbooking
Organize photo albums
Talk on the phone to friends and relatives
Chat online, shop online, investigate a new hobby or interest online
Try out new computer software which has piqued your interest
Play cards or board games with family and friends
Do jigsaw puzzles
Sit outside and enjoy the sunshine (wearing sunscreen, of course!)

Do not under any circumstances engage in the following activities:

Vacuuming
Pushing a shopping cart
Housecleaning
Lawn mowing
Lifting anything over ten pounds, including small humans, large pets and laundry baskets!
Visiting your place of employment, as they will think you are healed and will expect you to come back to work before your leave is up.

If you ask yourself, “Should I do this or not?,” the answer is “No.” When convalescing from surgery, it’s best to error on the side of caution.
