If it's okay by you Mr. Dawg, I'll just go on trying
not to imagine that, okay? [insert a here a wry smile, meant in good humour and covering squeamishness]

Beyond that a good book stand is very useful if one is writing researched papers and you have to copy the material on to a computer or some such. A very good book stand that anweres the above and many other uses can be found at:

I saw this (from the other thread) and my first thought was "How could that work?". It almost seems like trying to balance a camera on a monopod, so it's interesting for me to see from your endorsement how poor my first impressions were (come to look at it more, it almost looks adapted from a camera monopod). I've also wondered if, in circumstances such as yours or where significant paralysis is involved, something similar to a harmonica neck holder would be practical in some circumstances (or better, for support, something similar but with "backpack" straps)?
Goodonya for sharing this though - I appreciate information and experience that makes me question, or modify, my assumptions.
Cheers,
Marc
