One more thing...
You said you need to keep your mind occupied. I remember when my pain and anxiety were really high I needed this too. It can be so hard to concentrate at those times. What I came up with that I could do at any time in spite of any pain or disability was pray for others. There are plenty in the world that need your positive and healing thoughts. Take some time focusing on them, on people and animals and places that could use healing and send it to them. Pray for your daughters well-being. It will re-focus your mind and calm you. You will be doing something positive and beneficial. Make it regular, a couple of set times a day. I found a deep peace when I started that practice.
