Bored in hospital, need to keep my mind active

Sorry, shamelessly posting here for traffic.

Currently on a surgery ward for monitoring for internal bleeding following a car accident. I'm bored and my mind keeps flashing back to it. We were hit head on, on Saturday night as the other car swerved onto our side of the road. Thankfully we were all able to get ourselves out but it could have been so much worse. The other driver sadly died at the scene.

100% our car and seat belts saved our lives. DD 7 and her friend have minor injuries as they were in their appropriate car seats i'm going to be a huge bore when I get out as I know so many people who have taken the car seats and boosters away.

The ward is boring and cold, I keep switching between flashing back to the accident and thinking about work, letting people down not being there.

No point to this post really. Thanks for reading x

Can you download a game on your phone, I like brain training games when my anxiety is particularly bad. Glad you're OK.

How scary OP, I’m so glad you and your Dd and her friend were ok.

Didn't want to read and run but goodness how scary
Is anyone able to bring you a crossword book? Somehow the only place I'm able to complete them is when I'm in hospital
Fingers crossed you are seen to soon and absolutely don't stop talking about the importance of correct car seats
Hope you'll be okay ❤️‍🩹

That sounds terrifying. I’m not surprised you’re having continual flashbacks. Are you well enough to read?
