Ideas for entertaining myself when immobile

Having smashed my ankle in spectacular fashion, I am probably looking at at least eight weeks laying around with an elevated leg. Looking for ideas I may not have thought of for sofa or bed pastimes (not the obvious sexy bed ones!).

I already knit and crochet. Have access to streaming platforms on my tablet. Read copiously already. Maybe something new to learn? Play online word games but open to any good card game websites? Any other suggestions. Only on week two and starting to go mad. Probably don't want to learn a language as not a huge traveler.
