File this under coolest desk lights of all time. Japanese designer Yukio Takano of The Great Mushrooming builds these fun lights using LEDs embedded in synthetic mushrooms that at a quick glance are passable for the real thing. Each light kit is complete with beautiful packaging, battery packs embedded in the base of the wood, and nifty retro on/off switches. While I cant figure out if these are for sale online you can see tons more in his online gallery.

Hope your rehab goes well. They always say that the more you work at it early on, the better the end result. At least with sports rehabs.
I personally could see having one of these on a side table or desk, it would be a great nightlight.
