I'm gonna need some recommendations because I will just end up getting these things by the singles since I cannot stand subscription streaming services where people just end up clicking endlessly to choose something they have never heard of, then give up on it the moment they get a tiny bit bored, then flip flip flip and the next thing you know watching the boob tube is just like was in the 90's when we had 200 channels on cable.
That's going to be my only real option over at least the next few weeks because yesterday I tried to get out there an go for a walk because I'm feeling bad about my zero exercise and I made it about 4km before my ribs started to hurt (I have one broken and 2 partially broken ribs) and by the time I got home after 4km I seriously regretted taking that on.
Doctors tell you to rest no matter what is wrong with you so just like always, I didn't take the surgeon seriously when he said to stay at home and rest a lot. I now know that he meant business because just that tiny bit of exercise feels as though it reversed any of the good feeling I was having thanks to my shoulder brace and the pain killers and anti-inflammatory tablets.
Shame.
By the way I'm not on any major medication. I have Tramadol for pain, and some souped up ibuprofen tablets, that's it.
So anyway, I am going to be staying home an awful lot in the next few weeks and I am one of those people that starts to go a bit crazy if I don't have something to do. I cannot blindly flip channels and I absolutely hate doom-scrolling YouTube. I already do DuoLingo and will probably be on top of the boards with all this spare time.
I am trying to stay home and be a good boy and not use this extra time where I cannot exercise to re familiarize myself with the pubs.
I'm going to have some fluffy company with me during all of this and the only type of movement that I am going to be doing during the next two weeks is to take her on her twice daily walks because if she doesn't get them she starts to get all anxious and follows me around the apartment and well, I know that means and she always ends up getting it. I reckon I can make it about 500 meters before my ribs start to hurt and I am sure that will change over time.
The danger of NOT feeling pain when I am doing stuff is that it very well could be that I am not feeling it because Tramadol is a relatively powerful painkiller (it's a synthetic opiate) and my body may actually be trying to tell me via pain to "stop doing that!" but I don't listen because the tramadol is blocking it. By continuing to do this sort of thing I am only prolonging my recovery time.
So here is what I would like from you if you can
Please recommend me 1-3 movies or TV series that you really enjoy - like your top of all time. I don't really have a favorite style and am pretty easy going when it comes to viewing. Just know that if I was to choose any one thing that I definitely don't like it would be over-the-top love stories like K-dramas.
My favorite movie of all time is Back to the Future and my favorite series of all time is Breaking Bad.
I do recall a bunch of people talking about a show called The Wire and how amazing that was. So if there is someone out there that has seen that one please tell me, would that series still be good by today's standards or is it a bit too dated?
Thanks for any help that anyone can provide, Nadi and I appreciate it.
