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 @DavidGoldfield @mastoblind @main If you have a case for your Braille display, put it on your stomach, if you’re laying down and then have the laptop on the table. If you’re sitting up, you can adjust that length of the strap on the case, and then use your body as the table for the braille display and the TV tray for the computer. if you don’t have a case check with turtle back.
