Were you ever able to do things to entertain yourself and try to distract from the pain? (Reading, video games, audiobooks, binging tv/movies, etc?).

I have my surgery next month, and while I’m very excited, I’ve been nervous not knowing what I’ll actually be able to do during recovery. Should I anticipate laying in bed for 2 weeks, unable to focus on anything but pain/hunger/exhaustion?

Reading the different surgery experiences on this subreddit has really been helping me mentally prepare, so any insight is deeply appreciated. Also, if you have any recommendations on solid ways to pass the time, I’m all ears!
