Morning all, looking for some sort of stand for book reading in bed ? Wife only has use of left arm. Either something resting on the bed or on the wheelie tray that slides over the bed. Magazine size would be just right.
Preferably on the West Rand. Krugersdorp, Riverfield Rehab Lodge way.

Thanks
 
I've gotten similar for my tablet,attaches to bedside and swings over,mag/book might be harder due to needing to page though
 
Maybe a bean bag type of thing? Phoned about 10 medical supply companies and got blank stares.............

Wanted to take a stab at her only having the use of one hand. But from the location I can see this is a serious issue. Maybe something like they have in the Hospitals to wheel over the bed so you can eat, but at an angle similar to those drawing boards?
 
She has the tray that goes over the bed but seems to want something resting on pillow ?

O meaning she can turn on her side and have the book resting next to her also instead of a seated or laying down position?
I'm trying to picture her position when she reads or wants to read.
 
She cant turn. On back but can raise and lower bed. Must rest about on waist height.
 
Not exactly what you’re looking for, but what about going digital? Sonething like an iPad can be operated with one hand quite easily and there are s lot of stands available. Also most magazines are available digitally.
 
At this delicate stage of rehab before speech comes back we are thinking just about the local You to occupy her mind. Nothing heavy yet?
