Sick leave to do list

I've had a really crappy few months, started having health issues in August, started new job in September. I ended up off sick in late November and I've now had a hysterectomy and I have a few weeks' recovery ahead of me. As well as just 'resting' I want to get myself back to normal mentally, physically and feeling as good as I can before I get back to work in 6 weeks.

I plan on spending my last week or two doing paperwork, walking and generally trying to build up some stamina for working again. In the meantime WWYD?

Dye hair
Get it cut
Eyebrows
Home pampering
Read 3 X novels
Are there any binge worthy shows you'd recommend?
I need to keep (very at first) lightly active and build up slowly. I have exercises to do from physio that will also help me part of my recovery.

I've spent months feeling rubbish between bleeding constantly and taking bucketloads of hormones and haven't been myself. I just want to be as well as I can be in every sense before I go back. What would you recommend?

Do you do any sort of craft? It could be nice to tackle a project. I was on bedrest during pregnancy and did a lot of sewing and crochet. Listening to podcasts is a good thing to do too.

Hope you're on the mend OP.

I would add to that list:
Meeting friends for coffee (or inviting them to you if you can't go out)
Cooking lovely things to eat and stocking the freezer for easy meals when you're back at work
Fill in your 2019 calendar/diary with events, birthdays etc.
Bit of light decorating or gardening
Housework jobs it's hard to find time for (cleaning insides of windows etc.)
Sleep
