Video Games, Porn, Star Wars Saga/Lord of the Rings Trilogy/Indiana Jones Trilogy/The Matrix Trilogy/Aliens Quadrilogy DVDs (and maybe a bunch of comedy films too so he'll laugh), Sketch Book and pencil, Rosetta Stone Linguistic programs (he could learn ANY language quickly), comic books or Heavy Metal magazine, classic Novels, Porn. That's all that come to my mind right now, any of those things would be great if I were laid up. It's great opportunity for him to watch, read, learn or create anything that might have ever interested him. Sitting idle, watching regular TV, will make anybody crazy after a while. Hope this helps!
