I sat on my bed and used the dresser as a desk. Fucked my back up real good. Do not recommend.
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)
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.
Medical Tray table - lots of variety for ~$50 on Amazon.
Room for two laptops and a couple of drinks (easily reachable from the bike)
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.
(providing links for examples, not trying to recommend those specific ones for the overbed tables.)
If you can sit up partly/recline in bed:
I started with a simple cheap one side over bed table, like at hospitals and such when I first became disabled.
Then changed to a full over bed table with wheeled legs on both sides I could push to the foot of the bed when not in use. More room, more stable.
Now my bed is close to a wall on one side. I have an xl extended wall mount arm for my monitor that can fold up when not in use.
Monitor Arm plus Extension
In all cases I made a simple lap desk with a 3ft shelf, with yoga blocks as feet on both ends, and a XL mousepad to give it some grip,and used a wireless mouse and keyboard.
With moving over bed tables you have to keep the cords from the monitor to pc and power supply in mind, with the full sized that was easier as I could simply set everything in the overhead table.
With the wall mounted arm that's all build in and a non-issue.
I caught stuff on sale whenever I upgraded. I've been really happy with the wall mounted arm. Easy to adjust and fold away, more initial setup obviously.
You could get a bedside overhand table like:
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".
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.
