Question for #blind people, particularly those who use both a #Braille display and a laptop, if you’re sitting at a desk and need to use both, how do you arrange them so using them both doesn’t kill your back? For context, I don’t have a desk since I usually work from bed, but sitting with my legs straight out in front of me hunched over my display and keyboard was hurting my legs and back, so I got two TV trays and an office chair and I’m using those. I have my Braille display and laptop both on one TV tray in front of me, with the Braille display in front of the laptop, but this means that if I need to use the laptop, I have to lean over my Braille display, so I’m still hurting my back. I’m working on my #BrailleTranscription course, so I have to use the laptop to type the exercises and drills. Also, I’m on a rug, so rolling the office chair between two TV trays isn’t an option. Is there anything I can do here to not hurt my back so much?

@RareBird_15 @mastoblind @main I’m not sure where this desk I have came from, but it’s a computer desk with virticle and horozontal cubby wholes along the back and kind of a drawer along one side. But there’s a place where you can dit and have plenty of room for your legs, and above the lap, under the desk, there’s a flat board that slides in and out, that has wheels along the sides. Anyway, I use that board for a keyboard, but I’m thinking such a desk would work for operating a laptop.
