Bored

We are fickle creatures. A week ago, I would have given just about anything for even just a half-day just to do whatever I wanted -- Read, watch TV, go shopping, clean my bathrooms!, etc...but now that I'm being forced to stay in bed indefinitely, I've come to the conclusion that it gets old really fast! I like being busy -- in fact, I thrive on it -- so having someone sternly tell me that I am to go home, get in bed and not move except for bathroom breaks and to eat a little something every few hours has been a challenge.
That's right. I'm on bedrest for at least two weeks.
On Monday at work all day I was feeling a bit off. Just feeling lousy; having pain and "tightness" that I couldn't explain, and when I got home I was just miserable. My weekly appointment to see my OB-GYN was the next morning -- so I decided to wait until then to see if she knew if I should be concerned. So far any aches and pains that I've brought up have been "normal", so I just figured I was feeling the effects of only having a few weeks left. I brought it up to her on Tuesday morning and she decided to hook me up to the monitor and make sure nothing was going on. Well, something was. I was actually having regular contractions about every 2-3 minutes. Some I could definitely feel, but I had no idea that I was having them that regularly. She sent me immediately to the hospital to continue monitoring and to receive IV fluids because dehydration can sometimes cause contractions. After being monitored for a few hours, they gave me a shot that was supposed to stop the contractions and the doctor decided to send me home on temporary bedrest and an oral drug to keep the contractions stopped. Wednesday, I could feel that I was having them again despite the medication and I was sent back to the hospital for more monitoring. They upped the dosage of the Terbutaline in shot form and watched to see if it would kick in. They seemed to be fairly well under control for the first part of the afternoon, but about 5 pm, just about the time they were going to send me home, I started having very regular and full minute contractions. The doctor decided that to be on the safe side they were going to give me a steroid shot (ouch, ouch, ouch!) that would help my little guy's lungs develop quicker, and to keep me overnight. What a miserable night. I don't know how they expect anyone to get better in the hospital when they are bugging you every five minutes! By the time morning came, I was exhausted and had gotten maybe an hour of sleep the entire night. The nurse told me that the doctor wanted me to stay the whole day and continue monitoring. Also the steroid shot is in two doses, so I needed another one about 6:30 pm. When the doctor came by a few hours later, I told her I would be SO much more comfortable at home and if she agreed to release me, I would obey any bedrest orders to the 'T.'
So, here I am. At home, in bed, and pretty bored. As long as nothing gets worse, I should just be home for the next week and I'll see her Wednesday to check things out again.
In the meantime, does anybody have any good suggestions for books to read, etc? I was trying to figure out what Luke could pick up for me at the library, but I'm a browser when I go, so having to come up with something without looking around was proving difficult.
I'm sure that some of you are envying my position of being able to be lazy...so I need some suggestions. If you could have a day to do anything -- well, anything that you can do laying/reclining -- what would you do?
