Wow that sound very painful!   We have a fair number of people here who are either recovering from injuries or have chronic issues.   I fall into both camps (well I'm not recovering from an injury, but 2 big surgeries for me).

I highly (highly) recommend coloring, which is probably obvious if you've read my blog or many of my posts.   It's a great time consumer and it really is relaxing and can take your mind off your current situation.

I like to watch something on netflix and color at the same time.  If you have netflix some of my favorites currently are:  The Arrow, The Flash, How to get away with murder, hemlock grove (I haven't watched the new season yet) and a variety of their documentaries.

I'm currently watching Criminal Minds from the beginning because I realized I'd missed an episode here or there, so decided to just watch it from the beginning.

@Curious I am definitely all about coloring - I just ordered a big pack of gel pens to use in my Human Body Coloring Book  

And it's funny you should mention Criminal Minds because I just started it from the first season last night. I've definitely seen them all before, but sometimes what you want when you're kinda out of it is an "oldie but goodie," right? Hemlock Grove is also definitely on my short list, never watched it at all before.

I'm sorry that happened BragandBounce. I hope you heal faster than expected, without surgery needed. There's something so absurd but relatable about the title "I can't wait until I'm just a brain in a jar."

Do you want to be added to the FJ Colorists Unite blog so you can post your coloring projects and such there?

I just started season 4 of Criminal Minds last night.   I hadn't missed too many episodes in the first 3 seasons, it turned out, but I learned I hadn't see ALL of each episode for some reason.   There were a couple that I thought I hadn't see, but then realized I'd seen parts of them toward the end.   I'm really enjoying the rewatch.

Thanks for the well wishes!

And yes, I took the title from a conversation I'd had with a friend about the situation - basically whinging about every part of our bodies that hurt and concluding, "I can't wait until we have bionic limbs, or don't need a body at all." Then, of course, I really wanted to watch "The Brain That Wouldn't Die" - the MST3K version, naturally

Oh, certainly  I mean, I'm an excellent color-er - I even manage to stay in the lines of my Harry Potter coloring book, so I'm sure others would love to see my work
