my goes out to you, Stuck~

it is not necessary to 'do nothing' while you are recovering from not having the use of your hands.... one thing you can do is take up meditation. there are several member groups about that here on PC (links below):

there is also a type of auditory (sound) therapy that helps a beginner to focus while learning to meditate, called Binaural Beats. you must use stereo earphones while listening to it, but it does help the brain to focus (i recommend the Theta and Delta tracks for meditation; links below):

you might also make use of the time to watch tv documentaries. so much of your life is going to be taking place in your head, anyway, it's good to enrich the mind.... i hope you have a computer that can be voice activated, or a smart enough phone to help you text. wishing you a speedy recovery, and hope you can come and visit with us as much as you need~
