It depends on what he likes to do, but there are numerous crafts that can be done with limited mobility.
My ex-brother in law was pretty much couch bound in is apartment the last year of his life but he loved putting together models from kits and customizing them. If glue fumes are an issue there are numerous kits, although geared for younger kids, that are snap together only.
If he is artistic and likes drawing or painting, a kit or just a sketch pad and some colored pencils could do the trick. I am not artistic but when I have been laid up in the past, I liked to color and had a coloring book and crayons.
If he likes Indian type stuff there are lots of craft kits on the market and projects lists on the internet to make dreamcatchers, pouches, moccassins, leather crafts, etc. Again, most are geared towards kids, but would be easy to do and create a finished product he can be proud of.
If he is interested in coin collecting, you could get him a penny book and a few dollars worth of pennies to go through to see if he finds any that he would like to collect...let him keep the ones he does and turn in the ones he doesn't to get more pennies for him to go through.
For women, as most men are not interested in this, are needlepoint, knitting and crocheting.
Any of the above could produce a craft that he could pass on to his loved ones and would build his self-esteem to show them and himself that he could do something productive.
To keep costs down on kits, you can buy them in bulk at many wholesalers or on E-Bay, or if you need just a few projects, Michael's usually has "1/2 off one regular price item" weekly in their ads. If have a Michael's store nearby and can buy one project at 1/2 price every week, you can stockpile them for later.
Good luck!

No way can every physique remark on a particular case, yet i understand precisely the place you're coming from. issues could be so stepped forward that her medical doctors are straying into this type of territory additionally regularly happening as ' suffering officiously to maintain somebody alive'. I too choose cigarettes might vanish or be abolished, in spite of the shown fact that it particularly is a slender desire. In Scotland we observed a extensive strengthen in sufferers attempting to provide up, whilst the ban got here in final 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, in spite of the shown fact that for the reason that nicotine somewhat is as addictive as heroin, few succeeded. i do no longer understand the respond. The drop is smoking has been significant, yet now seems to have tailed off. No frightening classified ads, threats on packs nor training at school point looks inflicting a further drop. i will in elementary terms think of of including an further £5 a %. accountability, or save them the comparable value and cause them to like those Bruce Willis smoked in '5th ingredient' 3/4 clear out and a million/4 tobacco.
