When you get sick, do you have a "sick table"?

On the table next to you is:

box of kleenex
glass of water
cup of tea
the telephone
the TV remote
your computer (I don't have a smart phone)
a book
a snack
the newspaper

Can you thing of anything else?

The flu gave me horrific headaches.
Tums for the heartburn that ibuprofen can cause.

I actually have a table right next to my bed that I use all the time when I'm in bed reading (or down for the night). I put tissue, aspirin, water, lotion, remotes on the table every night. I just like convenience... Once again, hope ya get better soon!

I wouldn't be idle for very long without one without pulling my hair out. Probably replaying a classic Bobby Fischer game (yeah, I know he was a colossal asshole, but he played some beautiful chess!)
