Post-mastectomy activities suggestions
My sister (age 40) is having a mastectomy with expander placement at the end of the month and I am going to be her caretaker for after her surgery . I am brain storming some activities to keep her entertained and I am hoping the group can help me with ideas and also gut check if what I’ve come up with is reasonable given her limited mobility , pain, etc. . For example if we decorate gingerbread houses (yes it’s August, whatever ) is that going to be too much movement of her arms ? She’s the artsy type so most ideas are crafts.
So far this is what I have:
- ginger bread house decorating
- make your own sushi
- water color painting
- paint by numbers or coloring books
- walks in the park next to her house
- virtual movie nights with friends like during COVID
- she doesn’t love puzzles or board games that require a lot of strategy but I’m open to suggestions
Thanks for any help!
