Top Ten Things I've Learned So Far As An Invalid

1. The cat really does sleep all day long.

2. You don't need as much coffee if you're just going to sit around all day.

3. The predominant commercials on daytime television all seem to be for law firms soliciting clients for personal injury cases or class action suits against pharmaceutical or medical device companies. 

4. On  a gray cloudy day like today, with rain but a moment away, it is better to be sitting in a comfortable leather chair while wrapped in a thick green sweater than taking a tour group out to Alcatraz.

5. Though the body may be bound, the mind can always run free.

6. Previously simple everyday chores become triumphs of the spirit when accomplished on a knee scooter.

7. Naps can never be overrated.

8. I'm seriously considering getting a pair of binoculars and going all Jimmy Stewart in REAR WINDOW on my neighbors.

9. When your wardrobe choices are limited to sweatpants and t shirts, getting dressed in the morning is a breeze.

10.If one forgets there is a cast on one's foot and crosses that leg over the ankle of one's good leg, the pain subsequently inflicted is one's own damn fault.
