I'm going stir crazy

I fell off a horse and broke my ankle a week or so ago and am now in plaster recovering from surgery. I'm completely non weight bearing and have to keep it elevated.

I'm normally a really practical person and like being out and about so staying in all day is driving me insane.

Any ideas of things I could do to keep myself busy?

Learn a sitting down hobby. Listening to podcasts, knitting, crochet, puzzles, learn a new language, sudoku, organise emails.

Free Open Learn courses on the OU website.

Watching films. I was recently housebound for a week or so after surgery and I watched all the films I wanted to watch and didn't have time for before!

Thank you both! My mum's promised to teach me how to knit tonight and I'll have a look at those OU courses 😊
