Mark,

Thank you for taking the time to reply. Your post helped me better understand some activities I can do which aren't a hinderance to healing. Estreetfan, you as well.

I've downloaded an audiobook, it helps pass the time. I've also taken up knitting and improving me cooking. I'm using screens less and less now. I plan to take up drawing as well.

Here is day 2 knitting progress.
