I sat on my bed and used the dresser as a desk. Fucked my back up real good. Do not recommend.
What about an adjustable hospital type table? That should work over just about any chair and depending on the model could probably handle a monitor mount.
I've been really happy with a cheap medical table. Get one with the lower supporting beam at an offset to allow the front tire to sit further underneath the table.
I can easily get 2 laptops, keyboard, and a few drinks on the table.
Thanks u/RealcumberScripts! I wasn't having any luck with a vise, but this is perfect. I got the Handy, scripts, Gun Oil, and now this setup thanks to all your suggestions lol. I attached mine to this overbed desk on wheels for easier in-bed use (a little pricy though)
Hijacking you, but depending on the size of your couch or whatever you're sitting on, something like this works super well.

When my wife had knee surgery a few years ago, she had to work from the couch and keep it elevated and that fits a keyboard, mouse and a set of HOSAS easily. It extends pretty far vertically and horizontally. Enough to fit over a queen bed.
Plus it's on wheels, so you can just roll it out of the way to store it when you're done. They have a few versions on Amazon. I just searched Over Bed Table and came up with a bunch.
Like a table you’d find in a hospital. I never had to tuck my chin. I have an adjustable bed. But I didn’t have to use the chest method long. I had only had the Flippy a month prior to getting my table.
I use a medical tray table that I bought off Amazon. Something like this.
Telescopic height and more than enough room for 2 laptops, drinks, etc.
Oh, I already have a stand for the tablet. I meant more that I was looking for a table to put both the stand and the tablet on. I dug around and decided to try this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QMNTMXA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
No complaints with the desk. Sure I’ve looked at the wahoo desk and other desks but this was cheap and I’ve had it like 4 years now.
My first thought was this but it only goes to 45 inches. Drive Medical 13067 Non Tilt Top Overbed Table, Silver Vein https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002VWJZ8S/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_J8XDM7C869NEPJC3VVBC
Dark colored pillow cased. They are going to get stained. Depending on how much the incision oozes, you may want to change it every day or 2x daily.
Easy things to wear - maybe a couple of shirts that snap or button in front so he doesn't have to pull them over his head.
I bought a projection clock that shines the light on the ceiling, so if he wakes at night he doesn't have to look for the clock.
Maybe an overbed table like this one. Everything I've gotten from Drive has been well made and easy assembly. https://smile.amazon.com/Drive-Medical-Overbed-Table-Silver/dp/B002VWJZ8S/ref=sr\_1\_3?dchild=1&keywords=overbed+table&qid=1634948935&rdc=1&sr=8-3

It’s super sturdy and expands all the way out to a king!
There are tables that are the type that they use at hospitals that you can move around. Here's one on Amazon. The height can be adjusted 28" to 40".
Can't remember where i got it from. It's something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Tilting-Overbed-Rolling-Bedside-Rooling/dp/B07L9XWK16
They usually have these "edge stopper" which i removed.
Whatever surgery is in question, a lot of people find a recliner to work best as far as comfort goes. There still be pain killers, and getting up if you've been horizontal can make you dizzy as well as making your muscles do more than is necessary. Getting up and down from the floor will probably feel like climbing mount Everest.
Move/fold the bed and have the recliner wherever you feel comfortable.
Inexpensive and indispensable.
Worry about redecorating later.

Medical Tray table - lots of variety for ~$50 on Amazon.
Room for two laptops and a couple of drinks (easily reachable from the bike)
Maybe find someone who is not too expensive to hire and outsource some of the work to them. You could also buy a hospital overbed table and work from your bedroom between naps. Can also order food so you don't have to cook and wash dishes. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07L9XWK16/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_A9BRP701Y1VTVVK839AP?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Maybe a rolling laptop lap "table" for the k+m and the tv as a monitor and maybe a game controller then you can set the build next to yours on that shelf if it's big enough.
I used that setup for years when I only had room in the living room. The rolly laptop table(example, I just googled this in 1 second, mine is wood but basically the same) is big enough for a proper keyboard and mouse when using the tv as a screen and it can be rolled out of the way when company is over.
Have you tried a tall bedside tables they have in hospitals? Example below.

Otherwise my dad finds that he can reach his plate if he pulls up at an angle or sideways to the corner of a table or counter.
My parents moved into an “accessible” apartment. Ironically all the counters are lower which would work well for someone in a manual chair. But for someone in a power wheelchair, it’s not the best option.
A Bedside Table as seen in a hospital, would that not be as sufficient ? https://www.amazon.com/Medical-Adjustable-Overbed-Bedside-Hospital/dp/B06Y6L4XG2/ref=sr_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1511096157&sr=8-4&keywords=bedside+table+hospital
Ohhh I can help... when my wife had to undergo surgery, and later chemotherapy, she was in bed for weeks.... I bought this..
and I set up her computer with some cable extenders so her monitor and keyboard was on the tray, Her mouse she had on a large flat hard surface ( like a big book ) next to her.
She loved it so much she still uses it
