I can hardly stand it!......going on 4 weeks. I've gone mad. Some days, I just stare at the ceiling!........or I sleep, sleep sleep!.

Although I do read, rent pay per view movies, and talk to the cats and the dog. Don't feel like doing much else.......or rather, I can't without getting exhausted!.

Hey girls,

Maybe ask friends to stop by on their lunch break to bring you lunch or better yet - pick you up for lunch. Try writing notes to people you've been meaning to. Look up interesting recipes. Take a walk - if you can. Plan your next vacation.

Good luck and I hope you can overcome this boredom soon.

Have you all tried the game Soduko? I am not a game kind of girl but that really helped me through my recovery. It is so good for your brain and even with "brain fuzz" I could manage the easy ones. Now I really miss the time I had to just sit back and do things like that-- so relax, and take the time you need to recover--it goes by faster than you think when you are looking back at it!!

having someone come over and visit do you have any close neighbors or sisters or brothers read to your kids with 7 im sure its very busy around there or is someone watching them do crossword puzzles or suduko visit with your mom call someone on the phone did you get in to see the specialist for your staph did you ask about bacatrim

hey there...it is busy with 7 kids-for sure....the nurse told me this am that as serious as the infection has gotten that i need vancomysin,the others wont work...ill see what the infectiious disease doc says....sonie

Do you like to read? I love to read my romance books. I usually buy them used at garage sales and used book stores. I did buy myself some new ones right before my surgery. I also watch a lot of reality tv and spend a lot of hours on several different posting boards on line.

I need to spend less time on line and more time in my office filing or shredding old bills and paperwork.

hi sonie! i have taken up beading necklaces and bracelets and earings. christmas presents are done! i made little indian medicine bags for the nieces and nephews, to welcome them into the tribe. i have read, alot! i even picked up some books on cd at the library for when i am too lazy to actually read! boo! i am now going to start my taxes. ughhh! i need to pick up turbo tax! i have been playing blink -it a card game with my kids. it is easy enough for my 4 year old to play, and it's really fun. i had dh pick up some of those big 40 gallon bins at kmart, and slowly going through my kids clothes to store the things they have out grown. i just pick up one thing at a time, and put it where it goes! i have also mended holes in jeans, and hemmed pants. the eldest ds(7) and i have been playing hangman, and chess. the youngest and i have been playing simon says-i'm always simon. i have also taught the how to clean and fold laundry! boy i don't want to do taxes! i am just dying to know what is going on with you! do you have a pic line? an i.v.? did you get an appt that is sooner that the 6th? hey here's another one. i made birthday party invites for the 7 y/o's b-day party. not til june, but i will have those done. hug to you sweetie. you're in alot of prayers! heather

Sonie, I know you may not want to be on the computer ALL of the time, but something that found eats hours upon hours is adventure games like Myst, Alone in the Dark, and anything by Sierra. Wild Tangent games has some cute entertaining games too. I was confined to bed more than once, and the longest was 11 months, so I know how you feel. It is important to exercise your brain while you are down. I'd stay away from first person shoot games, because that doesn't help the right part of your brain, but the strategy, and adventure type games really make you think. Good luck with the boredom.

Sonie, after what you have been through, I'm glad you're feeling well enough to be bored!
I've been reading a lot, and I got my scrapbooking stuff out, but haven't started it yet. I also dug out a counted cross stitch project I started last year and I want to get it done. I'm also going to address a my son's graduation announcements this weekend and have them ready when his pictures come in. Still need to plan his party, too. I'm also getting ready for our trip to Arizona April 8. Just trying to keep busy.

Heather, good luck on those taxes. We are paying big time this year. I won't even go there.
