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.

    He locked himself out of his house and crawled up on his roof to try to get in a window, but all of the windows were locked. He tried to get back down and the ladder toppled. He fell 12 ft and had curled into a ball to protect his head and torso, but his arms were shattered. He’s lucky he got away without a concussion or broken ribs.

      Then you should absolutely add one of those rock hide-a-key things to your list just for a laugh.

          Or, if you’re feeling a bit spendy, a keypad lock (find out if they use Schlage or Kwikset or some other key brand to match their existing keys). One of the best ways to prevent being locked out of the house.

      Oh suggest this is a good time to get some walks in. It’ll at least be some exercise, we’re all short on steps, some fresh air and sun. Just a couple 10 minute walks a day is easy. After meals is supposed to be a good time to help insulin response.
