How do you keep yourself busy when you have no family/friends/car and you are recuperating from a stroke?

Aside from watching TV, I highly recommend reading. It keeps your mind busy and the time goes by rather quickly. I hope your doctor appointment went well. We love you sweety. Hugs Gramybear

Walk. As you walk count the steps, tomorrow increase your steps, check your heart rate before and after, take the percent increase and keep log of how it increases or decreases. make a graph of your progress. Stay away from the TV, it's poison.

I like podcasts with stories. Like This American Life or Moth Radio hour. TED Radio hour is also very good.

Sometimes I just like to listen to someone talk and these are very calming things for me.
