I remember well the weeks I spent post-surgery with limited attention span,
limited energy and Violent boredom.
Let's give her a list of things she can do that won't be harmful and
will make her feel like she's accomplishing something.
Mine: shove a bar stool comfortably close to the kitchen junk drawer.
(If you have more than one, schedule the other one for another time.)
Remove everything. Put some in the trash. Keep some. Or take a damp paper
towel and at least wipe the bottom of the drawer out.
When I did this, I discovered all manner of 'charge' things to stuff we
didn't have anymore.
Just one more. One day I cut holes in my tomato pin cushion and removed
everything. I discovered all manner of needles that were in okay shape but
had been shoved below the recovery line.
Next?
