I had brain surgery in January to stop my seizures, however it was ineffective. So now I have all sorts of free time on my hands since I am still having seizures. What are some ideas to do with all this free time, because I am tired of the same old thing. However, I do have some restrictions I can't do things that get my heart rate up really high. I went on a workout kick for awhile, why not get fit right, but it only caused more seizures with the running. Also my seizures aren't effected by flashing lights like people think all epileptics are(common misconception) that is just some people.
So any ideas I'd love to hear some.

You could spend more time on here. You could earn money online, you could watch lots of movies and tv. Start your own art projects.

to me it sounds like you really cant do nothing but sit and watch tv. and play on the computer. playing cards with friends also can be fun. You can do puzzles cross words there is quite a lot of things you can do just sitting.

I agree and I definitely do because I had to move back in with my parents since I was away at college and had to give up my apartment when I got sick and you can't drive when you have seizures, so also I had to give up my car. But all my family is back here so I travel around to see them all since this is a rare occurrence to have this much time on my hands. But even doing that I still get bored.

Go to festivals, raves, stuff like that or just go to the beach and stuff... if the hit is a problem or it's not the season so just hang out with friends, renew old friendship with people that are far away and travel you know... that what I would do.
