Ok, I need some ideas!

I have severe nerve damage in my right wrist (as some of you know), but earlier this week i was told i will need surgery and have to miss a year of school (5th year). I am more than happy with that, but the problem is i get really bored easily, so I have decided that i need to take up a hobby, but im not too sure what to do.
I am looking for something that i can do in the house with one hand, which will keep me amused and distract me from the pain! Does anyone have any ideas??

Thanks

double…go to www.blogspot.com. You can set your blog up there and if you need help, let me know. We have chatted before in the chatroom. I have set up several blogs if you would like to see them.

Get a dog hun! And spend your time training it to do tricks!
Volenteer at an animal shelter?
Work really hard at your physio! It s worth it. And push those pain barriers.

haha no prob Ive spent a lot of time injured.. Broken….
tailbone,
sternum,
Hand
middle Finger.. that looked funny as
Elbow x2
Knee
Arm

You r gonna get bored, so having a plan in place is a real good thing!
Doing your hair and washing it is hard!! So get a head band and stuff to make it easy.
Keep the upper part of your injured arm active. The less muscle u lose the better.
Also take cod liver oil or fish oil capsules.. they help with the healing heaps.
Let mw know if u need any tips.. Im really good at healing lol

Get some friends to keep you occupied. Join a group. Get a one-handed mouse-pad thingy (like the programmable hand pad 4 just got) Join a club. Get a library membership. Start writing (I know a website that would love to see your writing and reviewing) Start Role-playing (I know a website you can join for this too) Learn a one-handed instrument?

… of course … there is also the obvious … but I shall not mention it. It is a good way to pass the time but might make you blind if you do it too much hehe.

I don’t think that’s going to help here.

Why would you want to kill yourself?
