What can you do if you are recovering from an operation and are confined to the house?
If you are literate, you can read and that opens up a host of things for you to read while you are recovering from your operation.
You can read books, magazines and the newspapers.
If you have internet access, you have even more things to do.
You may read up on your illness/surgery/after care e.g. I typed in keywords such as: 'thrombosis', 'graduated compression stockings'. You may check your CPF Medisave account (to see how much you have burnt when sick and how to make your money work harder). You may go online shopping for products. You may conduct your internet banking. You may read the news (try www.stomp.com.sg for the paperless bilingual newspapers). You may email/chat with your friends.
If you have a blog, you may post your thoughts. This saves you from explaining yourself. It will also be helpful to those who come after you (i.e. those poor souls who unfortunately like me need a laparascopy and a stint in hospital).
You may text your friends if you have a handphone.
For the illiterate, they may still have visitors, talk to friends using the telephone or handphone. There is also the television and radio to provide entertainment for all. You may watch DVDs or listen to your CDs.
Hey, nowadays, you can even watch YouTube and other television programmes on the computer.
There is of course housework to be done. First, start with light duties e.g. folding your laundry, washing your mug, cleaning the headboard of your bed, wiping the dining table. As you grow stronger every day, you may do more housework. However, stop at heavy duties e.g. changing the bedsheets and carrying heavy things.
