I was laid up once with a bad breathing/lung problem that went on and on for ages.... I remember the support I was offered was always people who assumed I could not think or make decisions and would suggest things I can do at home etc! It was my lungs I had a problem with not my brain. I was already doing lots of things at home that suited me. I know how you feel. It's not about thinking of ways to get out - you can do this far better than anyone here - or where to go - again you know your likes and dislikes and your area far better - or hobbies - it's about touching base with a person 1 on 1. I remember I got so low with being stuck indoors alone that I rang a help line and even they did not get it, they tried to advise me of ways to get out etc, totally ignoring that I knew my situation and knew that to be impossible, like I did not know my situation better than them and had no initiative. They kept trying to rethink what I knew for a fact. One guy asked me what food I like. I told him I like sausages with apple in them. He said they are best when you get them from a proper butcher. Yes I said, but we dont have any butcher within travelling distance of us who does them. Where do you live he said? I will tell you if there is one in your area! AN AREA I HAVE LIVED IN FOR 25 YEARS. So all those times I asked in all of the local butchers they lied to me! The odds of him knowing my area were about a million to one. The odds of him knowing what flavour sausages the butchers here sell was even worse. He was also ignoring I could not get out. In the end I gave up, it made it worse rather than better.
