Do you have an Ipod Cyn?
you can download podcasts and listen to them. Also books on cds, from the library perhaps. What about watching some good movies from your collection? What about some online games, Yahoo has a bunch? Just be careful with the booze and scrips. Having a bad back is, as my mother-in-law always says, "a bad scene". I hope you are feeling better soon. If you are on vicodine (sp?), be careful. I found those made me really anxious, and especially at night. Feel better soon!
