I've found my Xbox to be pretty damn useful in keeping my sanity. It's not just an activity you can do with little brainpower, it's also a good social venue. I get to say hi to friends and interact with them without having to leave my convalescent abode.
There's also a nice thing to the physical separation. When I'm talking face to face with folks, they all know I have a bum hip and am in a sad state. Online, nobody cares. I can kick somebody's butt in Halo 3, even though physically I am a useless lump. Well, theoretically, at least. Mostly I get my butt kicked. But still...nobody feels sorry for me.
