He can go in the garden and potter.
Remind him,if he lifts anything,he could end up back in hospital.look through the window ,or sit out there with him, take a book, or crochet, just in case he forgets.
It's not for long, be patient.good luck.deep breaths.

Could he plant some seeds, prick out seedlings, a bit of pruning etc?

Try going onto JIGIDI free jigsaw puzzles online. All levels and all subjects. A lot of exchanges among members too, for example: if he's interested in gardening he could try the plant section.

I need help! My DH had keyhole surgery to repair 2 hernias last Tuesday. He is driving me to drink!!
He is so active, that this imposed period of rest and recuperation is making him stir crazy.
He's not a great reader, and the tv isn't of much interest to him. His hobby is gardening, but he can't do that because it involves lifting. He's not allowed to drive for another few days so he can't take himself off anywhere. He has turned into the speaking clock ?.
Has anyone got any ideas about how he can occupy himself.
I offered to teach him crochet, but that idea got short shrift! Help!!
