Not that I'm particularly surprised.
My 7-year-old DS had surgery on Friday. He was groggy enough to stay pretty calm the rest of that day, but Saturday he was fighting us about staying still, and then today was pretty much a nightmare. He does have pain meds that tone it down a bit, but not much. The surgery was in his groin area, so although it was fairly minor, moving around will pull on it and impact healing.
His life at other times pretty much revolves around physical activity, Legos, and TV/movies. He is free to watch all the TV he wants right now, and we've added some new movies for him. He even got a small new Lego set. I've gotten him puzzle books and new games, offered to play with him, etc. Offered to read to him, color with him. He doesn't get free computer time, but there are games he likes to play that he can play with me there, and he's bored with those already, too. He does have some homework to work on, but that's not anything cool or special, lol. A slow walk around the neighborhood would be OK, but it's been pouring rain and is expected to continue to do so for a while. He's going to be out of school through at least Wednesday, so I need help!
