I think the main thing is to build on any interests he has Jean, if any. Small but not fiddly model making might be the answer.

What about a N*ntendo DS , not as bulky as a computer, teach yourself a new language, they have a French or a Spanish Coach. They have games, like that Brain thing or games just for recreation. There is a stylus which is used so not difficult if the fingers aren't too flexible. Never short of what to buy for a present as different programs can be bought. ( There may be other small hand held thingies available as I don't want to advertise.)-jl

Edit if he doesn't sleep well at night.....he can take this to bed and it won't disturb anyone...lol

Jean...

Is hubby able to use the computer ?
.
Volunteering to join FREE BMD Project ,is a good way to pass the time of day . :-)

Good eye sight is needed of course....

Nothing wrong with a kip as long as its just a small one !! wake him up Jean after half an hour...... that way he would sleep better at night.

Good luck ...I hope he finds something to do.
