After my gall bladder surgery, I was exhausted and really stuck in bed for an entire week! While that might sound great to many of you who would love a break, I was finding it difficult to entertain myself. I was in pain and had very little energy to get up during the day as I recovered from the surgery and the anesthetic. With pain meds that made me sleepy and headaches that came and went, I had to just rest and watch TV. It’s been a while since I watched daytime TV, so I was actually excited to catch up on some of my old favourites. What I realized was that daytime TV stinks! What happened? Thankfully, I had Twitter, Facebook and Netflix of course.
Knowing I had a long week ahead and time to myself to heal, I asked my Facebook peeps what shows I should binge watch for that week. Since I had already watched Orange is the New Black, Breaking Bad, House of Cards and House of Lies, I wanted to know what other series would be binge-worthy. The replies were awesome and I actually started a double binge on Weeds and an incredible prison show from Australia called Wentworth. This dark women’s prison show has become my new obsession…it’s a MUST watch (as I type, I’m watching my last two episodes on the laptop!).
