Poor thing....they can be babies can't they. I assume you have tried the usual reading, watching TV, etc. If he can get to a computer or laptop, alot of men LOVE some of these new war type games that are out now. Maybe look out in his garage and see if he has things that need greased or organized....like maybe he has a big thing of nuts/bolts/screws that need sorted. Get him some jelly jars and a big towel to keep the bed clean and let him start organizing them. I'll be praying for him to have a speedy recovery and for you to have lots of time AWAY...LOL.
