Give me things to do

[Meredithwho]

Suspected rupture of the medial collateral ligament in my knee and am currently in a straight leg splint and crutches. It is making life very difficult to get around so am mostly sat on the sofa. It’s day 1 and I’m bored out of my mind already. Give me ideas of things to do?

No kids and an amazing husband who does everything I could need him to do while I do nothing!

Have them bring you drawers to organize.

Get some adult colouring books.

Research plans for when your back on your feet?

Online shopping?

Learn to crochet or knit (YouTube tutorials)

Do you or DH have a games console? Serious suggestion to give it a go if you do!

That's what I'd going to say too. My mum taught me to knit when I broken my leg as a kid. I still love it and got very adventurous during lockdown - there's so many good videos on YouTube.

I think I might get told off if I go online shopping we’ve just majorly decluttered! Holiday plans are a good one though!

Jigsaw puzzles
Watch the stuff on Netflix which you've been to watch but have never got round to
Same goes for reading books you've never found the time to read
Have a mini pamper with face mask, etc

No games consoles unfortunately! I have just restarted greys anatomy for about the millionth time though

BBC Iplayer has ALL their scandi/french/foreign crime drama sets on there now. You could watch The Bridge and The Killing and Spiral and Montalbano start to finish. Start with series 1 of The Killing, that was amazing.

Wordle Unlimited.

Knitting and rewatching greys anatomy would be my go to activity. And you’ve already got half of that covered, so I’d recommend learning to knit.

I got into felting when I was stuck indoors with Covid, very easy to pick up and a good stress reliever! If you're a film person, see if you can make your way through the ones that are up for Oscars (e.g all the Best Picture noms?)

Download the Catan Universe and play it. (It's an adaptation of a board game so you could get that too)

I enter competitions when I have spare time. Its like constantly having something to look forward to in case your win.

Do you have an iphone? Download a load if games.

Have a wank

Read all the books you never had time for

Duo Lingo. I'm learning Welsh and Latin.

Quordle....... Better than wordle, have four words to guess with 9 tries, very addictive and time flies past.

Knitting definitely..... But I'm biased as per my name! Get making scarves for xmas presents🤶
