Scavenger Hunt

Clue: The only place where today comes before yesterday ... 


This was a fun activity prepared for my recovery after I complained of feeling bored - a scavenger hunt of clues around the house (my only domain). One of the tasks was to call up one of my daughter's friends (after unscrambling her name from a bunch of letters), and ask her for the next clue, not exactly the same as the 'phone a friend' lifeline on the TV show Who Wants to be a Millionaire, but a novel concept that resulted in a delightful catch-up. 

Some clues were tucked away in the exact location I'd looked already, but just very well hidden. It kept me busy, made me bend and contort, as I focused on something other than counting specific knee exercises and repeats for a few days.

While I was busy having fun, my expert home "nurses" catered to all my needs and frivolous whims: re-arranging pillows, plugging in extension cords and cables for my devices depending on where I chose to sit, refilling my ice-cuff, fetching blankets, refilling my meds, bringing me tea, picking up the debris I always leave behind after vacating a spot, finding novel ways to make me laugh, and encouraging Dallas to cuddle with me!
