Answer 1

1. Get a Game Boy or a PSP or some kind of video game system. A Gamecube is great for someone your age.
2. Maybe a box set of DVD's of your favorite TV shows.
2. Have a phone near you all the time.
3. Be sure to play catch with your mom or whoever is going to be in the house with you. It always leads to great conversations.
4. Have a computer nearby to do Yahoo Answers :-Þ
5. Go to the local arts and crafts store(Michael's, etc.) and get some kind of hobby kit, like a small knitting kit or building a race car model or whatever you're into.
6. Have a pad of paper and a pencil so you can start writing a small story or two, or poems. Whatever you feel like.

Answer 3

Study Prealgebra. And get ready for algebra 1. 12 is the perfect age to get all the laws firmly planted in your mind. Just the basic order of operations and exponents. Trust me, you'll thank yourself later if it becomes easy to you now. Don't wait until you're 15 because by that time, you'll have other interests. At least if you have the basic foundation at 12, Calculus will be a breeze. When you get tired of math, read a good book, like Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. I wish I knew about this book when I was 12. I wouldn't be scrambling to fix up my credit while paying back student loans at 29! If you feel like your brain is getting overloaded, listen to some music like Black Eyed Peas. They're a lot of fun!

Answer 4

Do you have a computer at home?You can play games online or do research and look up all sorts of cool and interesting stuff :)
Some web sites have entire books that you can read too.Or you can start a blog and write about your surgery and maybe help another person who is going through what you are.

I can think of lots of things for you to do. First you will probably be tired after surgery. Do you knit. or crochet. go to a knit shop. and they will teach you and start you on any pattern or item you wish to do. scarves. easy. make great holiday gifts. ...good use of time.
Start writing a journal of dreams,thougths. dailty.
get a good book.
Get a good cook book. and try new foodes ,make a menue
Beads are a favorite of mine. or friendship bracelts. think in terms of things or projects that you can use for holiday or birthday gifts. How about something you create ,out of stampers and inkpads. Go to Jo ann frabrics. Michaels. craft stores. I am in Maryland, but both are national.. star

Answer 6

are you mobile, can you walk, are you able to move about, or will you be bed ridden, if so you could start a journal of the events of your life,, use a video camera, to highlight the surgical proceedures, interview the surgeons,nurses,other patients, turn your hospitalization into a positive,not a negative, then sell your story to the hbo channel ,retire on the proceeds and live happily ever after,
