A new week has begun, and Fahey’s subbing for Riley. Welcome back to our daily open thread … in bed.
These past couple of months have been pretty weird for me. Due to my paralysisand complications from having to stay in bed all the time, I have to stay in bed all the time. I have a perfectly good wheelchair my wound care doctor and nurses tell me to use as sparingly as possible, so I’ve been out of bed on average once a week since late March. Fortunately, I have an over-bed table I’ve tricked out with a dual laptop/monitor mount. I’ve got my Switch, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 stacked on it, connected to a 27-inch 4K HDR monitor via an eight-way HDMI Switch. I have a shelf of books next to me. Another shelf is stacked with board games, model kits, and some toys for fiddling about.
If I think about it too hard it’s all super-depressing. Instead, I focus on the fact that I get all meals in bed, sometimes cats sleep on my legs, and if quarantining were a sport I would be all-pro.
So, how was your weekend? Do you miss Riley? He’ll be back soon. In the meantime, how’s it going?
