[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was in a boot twice as a result of surgery. First, I am sorry you have to deal with that. What seemed to help me:
I tried to lean in to the slower pace as much as I could, recognizing that it was temporary, even if it wasn’t a short time. I was able to plan, so saved some fun shows and books. Can you make a list of movies or shows you wanted to watch but never have time? Have you thought about trying HBO Max or Netflix or some service but haven’t done it? Now is the time to sign up for that 30-day trial! 
I created some new routines to make sure I had a different view, different air, throughout the day. So in the mornings I sat in my office, then spent a few hours at the kitchen table, and the mid/late afternoon in the living room to catch the winter sun. I was working, but also trying to make sure my mood stayed good. Also, it helped to have my foot and leg in different ‘raised’ positions— the way it was elevated n my office was different from propping it on a kitchen chair, and different from putting it up on the couch. 
I invited everyone and anyone to visit.  Even during Covid, I had numerous visits on my back porch (in February — blankets work!) 
Finally, I tried to focus on how great spring was going to be, and hung on to that. 
Good luck. [/quote]

Thank you! I will follow your lead and keep a positive attitude.[/quote]
