How do you amuse yourself when you're sick, and stuck at home?

@TheHorse It did seem horrendous at the time and I lost peripheral vision on my right hand side. If I tried to watch television I had to turn my head to the right and try to focus to the left, which proved not to be worth the effort. Obviously a computer was also out of the question. This made it very worthwhile to fly to Spain because otherwise I would be sat at home with nothing to do. To my surprise I soon adjusted and now have no issues with a computer or television. It seems amazing that our brain manages to compensate to such a change after 60 years of behaving differently.

That sounds pretty serious. I'm glad you made a full recovery. At least I assume you did. Walking on the seafront in Spain sounds like a good way to gather things.

I'm surprised they let you fly after such a condition. I'm glad you're now able to use the computer, etc. It would be very life-changing otherwise.

@JudyEv I've played solitaire and even bowling on some computer or another. I don't know that I've ever checked the games that came with this one. Is it called Minesweeper?

Hey, maybe there's mine detector, or whatever it's called, somewhere on this computer. Have you ever played that one? I don't have the name right.

@TheHorse I know Tetrics used to be on my computer but I don't seem to have a games button any more, just the solitaire one. I know what you mean about the mine detector but I can't think of its real name either.

Good point about the dust. Your comment led me to have a vacuuming frenzy.

@TheHorse get well soon

@louievill Thanks. I'm doing my best!

@TheHorse Glad to hear you are fever free now. Sleeping is definitely the best cure.

I slept a LOT last week. I've been fever-free since Wednesday AM or so.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Thanks! If I can get rid of this headache, I'll be at 95%.

@TheHorse That's a healthy and productive use of time.I appreciate you.

I'm making good progress on the novel I'm reading. And getting some mandolin practice in.

If my head hurt more than it does right now, I might avoid the computer as well.

@TheHorse Yes the screen does seem to intensify the pain in your head for some reason on this one. So does the TV and bright light. At least it does for me.

@TheHorse ...Good idea.

Ah, you reminded me. Fluids. After this cup of coffee, I'm going to grab the Gatorade.

I think our body knows how to take care of itself (if we don't abuse it too badly). I'm am close to better. The headache remains.

I've been able to visit MyLot and respond to emails. doing a bit more reading than usual as well.

I got deeper into my book last night and then slept 12 hours!

I wish I had my usual appetite.

I got way deeper into the book I'm reading.

I did liten to a lot of music!

I'm the same way. I hate missing work.

I've been sleeping as much as I can, but I'm awake for at least part of the day, so I need to do something. I'm glad I have these speakers to work on!

I've been doing a lot of that. The doctor said what I had was probably a virus. No antibiotics necessary.

I'm not used to being sick either.

Thanks. I'm working on it. See the doctor at 3:40 today.

If I hop in bed, I'll probably pick up my mandolin, or maybe my novel.
