Sheesh. So much depends on his attention span and interests. And, even movies get boring for film buffs now and then.
I like to have a variety of things to do at different levels of involvement. Being bedridden i s the one time I will read People or Entertainment Weekly and enjoy it. I also like a whole lot of other magazines to peruse through from House Beautiful to Vogue to Real Simple. Magazines are low maintenance friends. You can get into them as shallow or as deep as you wish and not feel guilty.
Games are fun, but depending on the level of pain and medication, they can be difficult. Something like the Game of Life would be fun, I think. Of course, I'd BEG friends to come over and play Canasta with me. but not many people know that wonderful game.
Writing helps keep me sane when I'm stuck. A sick journal can be a place where all of his frustrations go.
Is he project oriented? What projects has he not had the time to work on that he might be able to do from bed? I'm thinking organizing photos, that sort of thing.
I'm feeling quick sick myself, so I can relate. But, I hope to be better tomorrow.
