No! For the love of God, No! Evening telly is bad enough, but daytime telly is aimed at the unemployed and unemployable. It will sap your will to live (and may even delay your recovery).
Veg out by all means but with a book, some music, a laptop, or a DVD boxed set, but NEVER with daytime telly.
There's a difference between "DayTime TV" and watching TV during the day, if you've got extra channels. Loads of educational content for Nick to stuff his brain with and regurgitate here in future
that was a close one eh fitzy? time to take the wrapper of those choice dvd's and settle down for rest and recuperation. how long before you are allowed out to work and play?
Years ago I had felt similar feelings although very mild. It was at that point I drew the line enough is enough. Throughout my twenties my body never knew what a gym was now in my thirties the picture is very different.
Make a swift recovery Nick

For Heaven's sake, this is as bad as working in the public sector.
Me: "Where this week's Monday links?"
Public sector 'employee': "What links?"
Me: "FFS. We agreed you would have the links ready for Monday morning."
Public sector 'employee': "Err. The dog ate them."
Me: "You said that last week."
Public sector 'employee': "Oh. Err, Granny had a heart attack."
Me: "You've buried three grannies already. And five grandads."
Public sector 'employee': "Oh, err, no not granny, me."
Me: "What? You ate the links?"
Public sector 'employee': "No, had a heart attack. I had a heart attack, that was it."
Me: "What? You buried you? You couldn't do the links because you buried you?"
Public sector 'employee': "No, I had heart attack. I've been off sick. With a heart attack."
Me: "Riiiiiiight. A heart attack. Self-certificated too, I take it. Hmm. Thought so. So you couldn't post one little message - which is all that was required of you in an entire week - because you 'had a heart attack'? Just half a dozen links, copy 'n' paste 'n' post, but you couldn't do it, because of 'a heart attack'."
NF, are you quite sure it was a heart attack, and not just an infarction from realityhack?
