How to keep my husband occupied in hospital.

When I went into hospital I took crossword book, number puzzle book, novel and mp3 player. I found the mp3 player the most useful, I used it to block out background noise and certain tracks helped me relax too. Maybe your DH would like audio books, I never read my novel because I didn't have the concentration span.

Perhaps a portable CD player and some talking books from the library.

Don't think he could 'work' it tanith and the Wifi is very hit and miss anyway. But thanks for the suggestion.

An iPad? If wifi is available of course.

My DH is in hospital for six weeks (at least). He's already done two but is extremely bored which is making him depressed.
Unfortunately, he is not very good, to put it mildly, with technology. I bought him a 'Kindle Fire' but he can't work it. I bought him a portable dvd player which he manages to use but finds difficult to see. He doesn't really read very much and anyway his eyesight isn't good.
He isn't confined to bed but doesn't walk very well and is often hooked up to a drip.
Any ideas will be truly welcomed.
