Online Computer Games
It is amazing how a change in circumstances can change your opinion on things. A few years ago I was the first person to say that I would not interact with people on the internet. I am a very social person and I felt that if I wanted to chat with someone or play a board game or card game I would do that face to face not through the internet. I felt that a great number of people were isolating themselves by sitting in their homes on the computer rather than facing the world around them. But after I was involved in a car accident I changed my mind about this.
Two years ago I was broadsided by a four-wheel drive pick up truck. It took the fire department three hours to remove me from the vehicle. After several hours of surgery the doctors were able to put me back together. I had several broken bones in my legs, my left arm and my back. Fortunately my spinal cord was not severed. I hade to remain in traction for several weeks and then I started the grueling task of physical therapy to regain the strength in my muscles. The physical therapy exhausted me physically. However my mind was racing with thoughts of recovery and getting back to work. At this time a friend of mine brought a computer to my bedside and set it up. My husband had us hooked up to the internet. My friend showed me how to access online computer games that I could play to pass the time and to occupy my mind. When he first suggested this I told him that I did not want to play any interactive games. He assured me that there are interactive games that can be played, but that there are also many games you can play by yourself. He showed me his favorite site for online computer games. There were several categories to choose from such as board games, casino games, puzzles and card games. I told him that I would start with splaying solitaire. I could tell that he thought this was quite dull, but he did get me to the online computer games that featured several different kinds of solitaire, most of which I had never heard of before. I started playing and before I knew it my husband was home from work. I could not believe that two hours had passed by. I found that there were several other online computer games that I enjoyed playing. After a few weeks I started playing interactive cribbage. It was great to play with others even though I was sitting propped up in my pajamas.
The online computer games helped me get through a very tough time in my life. It helped get my mind off of worries that I could not do anything about. For me playing games online was very therapeutic.
Summary
Online computer games are a great way to relieve stress and fight off boredom. They also serve as great entertainment for those who may not have a lot of choice for other activites due to physical illness or pain. They are perfect for helping to pass the time.
