It's good to hear that all went well and you could be home in a couple of weeks. It sounds like you're in reasonably good spirits, and that's great cos it's the key to a speedier recovery.
As for the boredom, I know exactly what you mean...spent 3 years in the Ipswich hospital after an accident which almost took my right leg, and I too got the screaming ab-dabs wondering what to do with myself every day....and that was well before the advent of PC's, let alone lap-tops.
i am sad because there are good lookin nurses and i can't chase any of them.
Ah!! Now that's where you get cunning (listen to someone who knows/had 3 years to perfect it). What you do is call out 'nurse...nurse...nurse' and when they're standing beside your bed, you lower your voice so they have to come closer. Once they're within hugging range you give 'em a sob story about how miserable/lonely you feel, and once you've got their undivided attention you sneakily latch on for a cuddle.
Anyhow, cobber, take care, keep up the good spirit and be home soon.
