For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

So, I've been crippled for a while, and have the poor mans version of this:
[] Wall
(==) Bed
|| Computer Desk
Got a bunch of surgery recovery pillows to prop me into an inclined position, Computer Desk just has a TV on it, got a wireless keyboard, wireless mouse, and i have a folded up sheet with an ergo mouse pad.
... most people can probably pull something like this off, with a $50 - $100 set of differently arangeable surgery pillows, and I guess a wireless (i suggest 2.4 ghz) mouse and keyboard.
Resolution on the TV ain't great, but I've only got a Steam Deck, so.... beyond 1920 x 1080 is generally a bad idea anyway.
Do you have one of those bedside hospital tables? They're super convenient.
I do not, but yeah, having something like that would probably be useful for a lot of people doing a set up something like this.
The room I am in is a bit too small to also fit something like that without it being more of a hassle than a help overall, and it would probably get hung up on the carpeting, and I'm basically at 10% strength capacity in one arm/wrist/hand, so... it would probably be painful and awkward to move around.
I just have a smaller nightstand table.
But, my bed is a queen, so, there's usually enough room to just have a kind of 'stuff i need to grab fairly frequently' zone, like a staging area.
