Gotcha, maybe that's better as a side / future project then :)
What about freelance writing jobs? One of my mates ended up housebound for a lengthy period of time and earned a bit by doing this kind of thing. It was mostly writing content for websites (because search engines look for regular, organically-generated content rather than just keyword lists these days) but I think it paid ok.
She was UK based, but a quick google threw up some resources like this:
Your engineering knowledge could be a decent advantage for you here and help you land more scientific-writing / proofing / copywriting style jobs if that is of interest.
Editing student essays / theses could be another alternative, but I would expect that you'd have to be up front about potentially needing a long lead-time on turning around any work. From my experience, students and academics all work to deadlines and need everything yesterday.
