Gifts for my best friend who broke both of his arms? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

submitted 2 months ago by Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

My bestie broke both of his arms and wrists two days ago. He's in his 20s, a gamer, has a pregnant wife and a young kid. Any ideas for gifts I can get to cheer him up? He'll have no use of his arms for 3 months.

Already got a bidet for him and hooked it up. Looking into accessible gaming controllers, but he said that the pain is so bad rn that even alternative controllers are probably a no go.

Haha. I think my bone density is fine, I just ask a lot more of them than normal...

Bones: "This could break us."

Brain: "Yeah, "could" but won't. I got you."

collective being does a thing that will be amazing or moronic depending on outcome in the next few seconds

what do you do that demands so much from your bones, just out of interest?
