Can you help me come up with ideas to help my chair-bound daughter find something to keep her interested and occupied?

My poor daughter. She just turned 37. She’s a healthy, strong, energetic and hard working young woman, but she has a degenerative spine disease. She hasn’t been able to work for 3 months, and come January she’ll lose her job.

All she can do is sit on the couch or sit in a chair and watch TV. She gets up only 3 or 4 times a day to go to the restroom, or whatever. Moving causes excruciating pain.

Surgery is in the near future, but the prognosis is bleak. Needless to say, she’s falling further and further into depression.

Today I was just worrying about her, wishing she had something to do besides watch TV. Then it hit me….how about paints? She could learn to paint with oils and acrylics…but IDK. She’s pretty artistic, but I don’t know about paints.

My Dad used to do things like, making bonsai trees, ships in a bottle, macrame…..

Ideas any one?
