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

submitted 3 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

129 comments fedilink hide all child comments

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.

You can take the redditor out of Reddit, but you can't take the Reddit out of the redditor

As soon as I read the title to this, I thought "here we go again", but I'm amazed there are actual helpful comments and only one reference to the arms broken/mom bit

Mankind knew they could not change society, so instead of reflecting on themselves, they blamed the Beasts

You can, but it might take more than a year.
