Care package for a jaw reconstruction patient?

My boyfriend of 5 years is having jaw reconstruction surgery done shortly and I can of course think of a few obvious things to include like cds, movies, crosswords, hand held game and cards for him, but what else can I include? He has to stay in bed for pretty mcuh 2 weeks and he's a real busy body. He's always working on yard work, or on his car or motorcycle (hes a mechanic) and I know being in bed is going to travel him crazy. I am also an hour and a half away, so I won't always be able to be there, what do you suggest?
