Well it's tough after a spinal, since you need to rest horizontally for a period, but when I am in relapse or feeling bad, I log on my online game and kill excessive amounts of guys Something about casting pretty spells in a 3d world of wizards and knights in shining armor takes my mind off whatever real life crap is smacking me in the face
I am reading a good fantasy novel right now, "Mistshore". I'm incredibly sucked into this story. The character development is phenomenal
