Thanks again for the suggestions. I’ll keep this thread for ideas as time goes on, and I appreciate the thoughts. It’s been a frustrating week, I feel like I’ve taken some steps back but probably it’s just impatience with not improving as fast as I might like. Stupid human body not working right all the time.
I’ll definitely check out the TED talks. I actually already have the app but never tried it!
Oakminster, I love Skyrim too. I’ll get back to it at some point, I’d love to pick up the Fallout recent games as well again. This week has sadly mostly been bed rather than chair (after working all day I’m just ready to lie down). Frustrating, so not much gaming for me other than Infinity Blade 2 and other iPad games.
Lunar Saltlick, thanks for the suggestions on languages. I decided to download some free apps about Japanese last night and that was nice. I think an ongoing project is a good idea. Before I shell out for a whole program, I’d like to see if I can commit to working on this every day for awhile. An audio program is something I’ll definitely need eventually but getting some basics down, and getting into a routine of it, seems prudent.
The singing suggestion is interesting. My sister is actually a vocal coach so I’d have access to that, but I don’t have many breathing issues that I know of. Swallowing, yes. I’ll mention it to the doctor to see if he thinks it might be useful for me. I do get out of breath more easily but I think it’s just due to general cardio weakness, since I haven’t been able to exercise for months.
Trinopus, thanks for the recommendations!
kjbrasda, some interesting ideas but right now just avoiding any potential for finger trauma is high on the list. My sister knows how to crochet. Kongregate is definitely great, and I did play a bit of Pandemic 2 for old time’s sake today.
poolfan, I have to say I hate jigsaw and hand puzzles. My dad used to make me do them as a kid. I do have a giant box of legos at Mom’s though if it comes to that!
Moonlitherial, I’ll check out the YouTube channel also! Sounds up my alley.
