@enriquericos @bouncinglime Same! So are most of her immediate family. That's our core problem: That poor woman is surrounded by people who can't relate to her problem. Most of us in her position would find things to do, watch, craft, play... But she's getting desperate without outside input and human connection.
That 'fearing bloodshed' comment was not purely in jest.@eyeling @bouncinglime Oh no, that's the exact opposite of my family, where I'm the only introvert. Her suffering must be as intense as mine.
🤔 I think there's an idea for a sitcom here.

May I tap into Mastodon's hive mind?
A dear person in our circle had a complicated meniscus surgery. She's very extroverted and doesn't deal well with being sofa-bound, barred from all pasttimes she loves (her beauty business, cooking).
Do you folks have recommendations for activities in coming weeks/months, when she's faced with a lot of alone time? Otherwise there might be bloodshed in the family.(P.S.: Reading and crafts probably aren't her thing. Though we will suggest it).
@eyeling Related to all the online gaming suggestions, joining Twitch may be an option. there are also plenty of folks streaming things that aren't games and I liken it to a "virtual living room" where you can just hang out with folks who are all doing their own thing. chatting as much or as little as you'd like.

@eyeling coming from personal experience, I'd say find something(s) she's been wanting to learn and do an online course or her own research on it, supplemented with addictive shows and strategy games.

@eyeling I spent most of my meniscus surgery enforced downtime playing Satisfactory with a friend. So consider this another vote for multilayer online gaming.

@commonflowergirl That's a good suggestion. It's interactive and involves direct contact to others fot the sake of it.

@eyeling Any interest in picking up an instrument? Could be fun to dive into ukelele or learn to play trumpet. Could be a neat way to get her connected to other folks once she's off the couch.
@I_am_a_plant
I was about to make the exact same suggestion with the exact same rationale.

@eyeling@afranke @I_am_a_plant That mental image. Thank you XD
But no. Not an option. So much not an option. I did mention "bloodshed" earlier. -

@eyeling Family/local friends visiting her for video or boardgame evenings to make up for daytime alone-ness? You might be doing that already...
...Now if she were interested in table top RPGs, particularly being GM, that would have great potential. Prep would fill some of the alone-time, and then there'd be the social aspect of actual game night/afternoon/whatever...Otherwise seconding looking for Twitch channels that interest her.

@eyeling sorry for your friend, that sounds tough.
Would she like to use her hands instead: polyhedral origami are fun challenges (and provide great conversations topics), nature drawing is also a nice hobby to catch especially when one is stuck at a fixed point (because it is not about beauty or art but about noticing metadata over time so it can be about documenting the sky or a specific tree) and if she is crafty crochet is quite hyping at the moment (great for crafting accessories)

@Maker Sounds heavenly to me. However, I don't think it's her thing. We'll recommend it, though.

@eyeling Idk if there's a like, a beauty category? but there's a Cooking/Food category and I know of people who do like body painting streams. Or if Twitch isn't their cup of tea, there's plenty of YouTube livestreamers. I personally just have experience with Twitch!

I got on the NOVA show's mailing list after I was in the documentary and went to their event. I dunno why they would think it wouldn't be unsettling to read this email:
> We've noticed you haven’t opened our emails in a while, and we miss you! While you may have been engaging with NOVA in other ways, we’d love to reconnect with you through our newsletter as well.
y'all I appeared on your show talking about user empowerment don't send me emails advertising that you're using email tracking antipatterns (which my client isn't susceptible to since it doesn't load images by default btw)
