Everyone ends up bed ridden at some stage in their life, whether it’s for a short term due to illness or for a longer period due to an operation, or longer term sickness. It’s very frustrating because you want to get up and walk around, you want to go outside, you want to be anywhere other than in your bed counting the ceiling tiles.
When you are bed ridden there are certain things you can do to while the time away until you’re able to get up. The most common thing is to play video games, on systems such as the PS3 or Xbox 360, or even the handheld consoles such as the DS or the PSP.
While these are great to kill a few hours, they’re not the best things for your eyes, especially as you’re in a predominantly dark room anyway. A better idea to play with a Micro RC helicopter, as they can be launched from the bed you’re laying in, rather than have to take them outside or bend down to the floor. They’re very entertaining for someone who can’t get out of bed, and another great thing you can do with them is to fly them out of an open window and back in again. It will give the person who is bed ridden a small sense of freedom, through the radio controlled helicopter.
