You were disabled and realize it is not getting better, and no one seems to be able to fix the issue. You’re stuck laying down most of the day, you have enough mobility to function at home, but anything outside of home leaves you in bad shape beyond your control where you are not professionally functional. What do you do to earn a living and survive?

This is not a hypothetical for me.

    Programming with a handheld keyboard/mouse combo. When my depression gets the better of me, I can still get a passable amount of work done lying down in bed.

        Yep. I use an iPazzPort:

        21sdl1_-768x768-1940026105

        Very responsive, very long battery life, and backlit so you can use it in low light. I’ve had it for about a year I think, so there might be a newer model by now. It was about $20.
