No. The body can only absorb a certain amount at a time. Do what your doctor said.

Recommendations would probably depend a lot on what kind of books you like.

One I read recently and loved is “Extremely loud and incredibly close” by Jonathan Safran Foer.

I can’t really go anywhere as I need to save as much money as I can to cover for missed time at work.

By far the most American thing I’ve read in a while.

Answering the question: How about reading some books?

Get well soon, OP!
