Do I need anything else to keep me occupied for the week that I'm at home from work?

Your Doctor might supply the Velcro wrap around for your waiste. So if you buy one, don't open it if you get one, and it should be able to be returned.

Puzzle books, DVD's, I had a lot of pillows to help keep me comfy, because I slept in a chair. A bed was to hard to get up from. So if you have a recliner, and allot of pillows, you can be very comfy.

I went to costco today on lunch break, got some applesauce and a BUNCH of Soups. I even found Protein Shakes that are 160 cals, 5 carbs, 1 gram of sugar, 30 g Protein, and they actually taste PRETTY GOOD! 18 shakes for $19.99
