What are some fun things my husband and I can do following his surgery?

My husband's appendix burst and he had to have an appendectomy, but he had a lot of complications and ended up staying in the hospital for 4 days. Anyway, he's out now and feeling much better, but not up to going out much. We always go out on weekends, usually to dinner and a movie or play racquetball or games with friends, but he's not up to all that. We're going to dinner tonight, but what are some fun things we can do at home that doesn't necessarily involve just sitting around?





Thanks!What are some fun things my husband and I can do following his surgery?

Unless you have a huge house, most things to do at home involve sitting around. You can watch a movie or a TV show together, cook dinner together, have a cup of tea or coffee and talk, read aloud to each other, play computer game or Wii, play monopoly, Scrabble, poker or any other board or card game.
I had an appendectomy and I had to ';sit around'; for a while until I recuperated. I would definitely make my husband take it easy until he got the OK from the doctor.





In the meantime I would watch a lot of movies.





You may not like my suggestion since it requires that you two ';sit around';.
you could play a board game, look at old pictures of each other when you were yonuger, if you have a wii or ps3 or xbox( anything along those lines) you could rent a different game and play. or just talk rent a movie
Get some books are take turns reading to each other. Read aloud for about a half hour, then hand it over for him to take a turn.





It may become a thing you do for years afterward.
Rent movies and blow his horn. He will be better immediately. Good luck!
Do you have a Wi ? Or maybe computer games or Soduko ? Its not like he will be too active right ?
Play let's make a whoopie
As most of us know, a ruptured appendix can be deadly if not treated right away, and internally, it will be awhile before he's really mended enough to play racquetball again! I too had a most active husband and boy, was it ever hard to keep him down to recup!





You really don't want him moving around too much, so walking for exercise around the block is certainly reasonable but I wouldn't even get a man on a treadmill or any other piece of exercise equipment at home - I think the key is rest %26lt;yeah, staying reasonably sedentary for a bit!%26gt; and watching movies, playing scrabble, reading a great book or doing a video game together with two hand held units is about all I can think of. You certainly don't want him to stretch anything internally that could create adhesions! I suppose you two could bake bread together, no foolin, can be lots of fun - my beloved and I use to make sourdough and other types of bread together now and again during winter, or make a difficult or unusual recipe and serve it up the next day...NOT easy being 'down' %26lt;as I recently spent some time recuping from some recent surgery myself and the idea was to heal and not pull/stretch/tear any part of my upper body!%26gt;





Hope he's better soon...





Sincerely,
