I was recently diagnosed with a scaphoid nonunion and need to have surgery soon to fix it. It’s going to put me in a cast and out of commission for several months.
I’m currently weighing the options of doing the surgery now and ruin my upcoming vacation and part of my summer, or later and ruin my whole summer.
Either way, I won’t be doing much for a very long time. How do you stay sane while you’re healing from injuries?

Pace around mumbling vaguely that your body has betrayed you. That you needed it as your sword and shield. Where is my armour. Where is my armour.At least that’s what I’d do.

Don't you have any interests at all that don't revolve around sports and physicality? One day you're going to be too old and battered to do any of the things you currently enjoy, and if you haven't bothered to cultivate any other interests, you're going to spend the last years (or decades) of your life in unbearable boredom and misery. Use this as an opportunity to become a more well-rounded individual. Your summer will only be ruined if you keep all your eggs in one fragile basket.

Did you stay sane, Anon, or did you lose it?
