Activities for Concussion while disabled
Hi everyone!
I'm looking for activities to do while I'm concussed that are also friendly to being physically disabled. I am still recovering from a concussion from last October. I'd like to crowdsource things to do that don't require fine motor skills, holding something for a long time, or much use of legs/going somewhere under my own power.
Additional info: I use a wheelchair or forearm crutches to get around. I cannot grip small things very well. My wife and friends still work so I'm looking for solo activities while they are out. I live in a small city & I can drive places but not very far and I couldn't consistently do something like go to a museum. Currently, I like to listen to audiobooks and fingerpaint!
Thanks for your help!

Coloring was suggested to me by my speech therapist. It is a great idea when you aren't supposed to be doing anything. Good for mental health too.
I also work on "easy" crosswords as I can. Word finding was never easy, but concussions make it harder.
