…a table, or whatever, that sits in the den beside my chair and
can accommodate in an orderly way, the medications I take, a
stopwatch, coffee cup, TV remotes, Mouse (Optical, however,
so use of it isn’t a problem), magnifying lens until I can get
new lenses), salt and pepper shakers, etc.
Linking to pictures of your ideas will be appreciated.
My mother has something very similar to this next to her chair. She likes compartments and the remotes go in the top left drawer. Medicine, vitamins, cough drops are in one drawer. Pens, pencils, scissors, magnifier, and tape in one. We even made foam board dividers so the pens and pencils don’t mingle. She has a desk lamp on hers, and uses the shelves for catalogs, puzzle books, books.
She uses the computer in a different room. I don’t know how a mouse would work out in her arrangement, but it seems possible.
Perfect!!
Thank you very much, gwendee.
I run the mouse off my armchair, thigh, whatever. Doesn’t need a pad, it’s optical.
Mods you can safely close this thread.

Wow, glad I could help! And here I’d started out having an “I can’t do anything right” kind of day.
The stopwatch… it was for this thread, wasn’t it?
Cute! 
You were an angel in disguise!!
