So i am not well enough to go to school now so i was wondering what do you all do? I cannot read more than 13 min at a time, cant watch tv, play video games or be on the computer except max 10 min because i am very light sensitive. My PT has me walking in increasing increments a day.

Im at 13 min 2X a day so im just trying to find something or things to do without over exerting myself. Keep my mind from imploding.

I had months of not being able to do anything. I still cannot read much, still cannot watch tv. I can be on the computer for a bit longer now, which is a life saver. You just have to get past this stage. It was very rough for me, and I did not look forward to another day at all. However, it too will pass. Keep your head up.

Thank you willgardner for that info. I will and thanks for the confidence boost. In time i guess

When I first had my concussion I didn't do a lot either. Recently I found that learning magic tricks has helped me. It is fun, and it feels good when I perform them in front of my family. Another idea could be to listen to the radio. Make sure it isn't too loud though.

Thanks everyone for some creative ideas. I am still sound sensitive so too much noise is going to give me some problems. I will try some of these though. I cant breathe well or sleep well so anything involving those is difficult.

Wonderful suggestions, thanks!

I found listening to books and podcasts helped pass the time. Most libraries have large collections of books on CD. I subscribed to *edit* since it is much cheaper than I tunes books.
