Sounds like you’re as “snug as a bug in a rug”, Megs! Glad you have such a nice set-up. My back hurts terrible when I’m sitting at this computer. I think thats why I stay away from it so much. About 5-10 minutes here and there goes the back. Its terrible when things we enjoy so much causes us pain! Thats the way it goes, I guess. I’ve been thinking about a tablet to use over on the couch but haven’t made the jump yet.

I understand ...I cannot sit and post..too much pain.

I urge you to invest in a laptop and wireless set up if possible. My laptop sits on a tray turned sideways on the bed so it can get air circulation..
The laptop screen is almost 3 feet from me.

My mouse works on a small pillow ..my keyboard is on my lap/legs..and it makes all the difference.
It took awhile for me to adjust to the new set up several years ago..but it works well for me.

You could set the laptop on a positioned side table by your sofa or Lazyboy and get some relief. The wireless mouse and keyboard make it possible to post with your feet up.
I don’t spend money dining out, going on vacation or anything to entertain myself except cableTV and the internet...so I make myself as comfortable as possible .
;o)
“Laptops” are too heavy for one’s lap...and I cannot use the touch pad to copy and post graphics anyway.

I keep mine plugged in and rarely use the battery feature
(unless I accidently unplug it..LOL).
