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.
