When I was in the hospital a few years go with kidney stones, I was 
using a little EEEPC netbook on HealthSpot & I don't recall any problems 
that I had, other than it timing out occasionally & having to sign back in.


I primarily use firefox because its what I'm used to, has the extension 
I want & becausewell..Chrome sucks spherical objects.  ;-)


With regards to tethering to your phone, you could try hooking it up to 
the wireless if it works easier (usually my phones have worked when I am 
there, unless I am out of range or they put intentional blocks on it) & 
then set it airplane mode so you aren't burning through data.


Conversely if you think you might be using a lot of data, you can often 
contact your provider & add extra data & then just cancel it before the 
next billing cycle.  I did that when I was having some issues with 
provider & phone & data exploded.  I paid $10 to get I can't recall how 
much extra data to cover the overage, but it was cheaper then paying for 
the per GB data charge.

need a simple solution.

If you have a cell phone with data, you could "tether" your laptop to it via 
wifi and use your cell data. Probably easy to blow through many GBs of data on 
a laptop tho, so beware of cell data overcharges.
