He goes to bed between 6 to 7 at night and since the pandemic we have no activity.
What kind of things can I get him to do with me at home now? Can’t stand because of pain and can’t go on walks. He could do other things. Please help. I am going downward with him.
First of all, sending you a warm hug through cyber-space. Feelings of isolation and loneliness can be very depressing and I can see why you are distressed.
As to how you can get your husband to be more engaging, the puzzle idea sounds like an idea to try. In fact, a way to make it even more engaging is to have a puzzle made of one of your (and his) favorite pictures. Here is a link where you can upload a picture and order a puzzle:

For your own mental health can you make arrangements to see a friend, let's say once a week, for a walk outside, or some other activity you could do while still being cautious about covid?
In the evenings when your husband sleeps what about engaging with online groups? Do you have a Facebook account? If so search for groups that interest you. Reach out to your local church if you belong to one. Also let your friends and others know that you would like to have some company. Sometimes people just don't know, so they don't think to offer. Do you have family or friends you can video chat with with either Zoom or FaceTime?
And there is always this forum too. Keep posting and reaching out. People here care.
Can your husband hear well? This could be why conversation is kinda nonexistent.
You may have to just get going without him to safe guard your health and wellbeing. Go for a daily walk by yourself or call a friend to join you. Reach out and volunteer.
He may decide that being left alone is not for him and start engaging how he can.
Take care of you!
If her husband is hard of hearing, puzzles would be a very good thing to do because if he doesn't really like or want to talk at least they would be doing something together. I actually like working on puzzles as I find it a great distraction from the bombardment of world events.
