Any pointers to keeping your sanity?

You know, it wasn't as bad as you might think. I watched very little television except at bedtime. The surgery also didn't inhibit my ability to walk. I walked 30 minutes 2-3 times a day once I no longer needed nursing assistance. The exercise brightened my mood. However they didn't let me leave my floor cuz of covid worries. I have a smartphone. But most important was phone calls. I tried talking to everyone possible. And I received just enough random phone calls to fill in other gaps. Then, after pain meds, I got drowsy and napped. The phone calls were most important though. Eventually everything made a daily schedule and that was nice.
