Is it possible to be housebound and happy?

Post Content

I just can't imagine that my condition will ever improve up to the level where I'll be able to go out and do things again. On my best days last year, I managed to go for a half hour walk in my neighborhood. Now, I'm pretty much limited to a 100 meters from my house due to severe fatigue and gait issues. I remember last year that I quickly started getting bored after a few decent days. On the one hand, I'd kill to get that back, on the other I'm not sure how I'd cope mentally if every day looked like that. I spent my days reading, playing games, watching tv but it felt pretty empty once I got past the initial joy of not feeling terrible. Anyone here who's managed to make the most out of it and is somewhat okay with this situation?
