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

submitted 3 months ago by Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

40 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.

Didn't you just win a medal for GB?

If you meant for going bald, then yes.
