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]

128 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.

Watch out for falling Mankinds and Undertakers, especially if you are or are near to an announcer's table.

I know it wouldn't slap the same on Lemmy, but that is a user account I miss deeply.
