You had toild me earlier that you spent quite a bit of time in a comfy recliner after your hip replacement. I got a a packet of all kinds of information from the Surgeon's office staff last week going over pretty much everything except details of what I can actually sleep in besides a flat bed with pillows jammed everywhere to keep me from crossing legs . That sounds like fun.... Not..
So I sent a note via My Chart to Doc's PA asking about a good recliner because it is Good Friday shopping sales and I want to get whatever I need while the getting is still good.. She agreed. She also said a good recliner would be great as long as the seat is high enough from the floor that when I sit my thighs and hips are level. I reckon you gotthe same counsel.
So began searching for available power recliners yesterday and most places like Ashley for example has a back order and delivery well beyond my surgical date in January.
There is a local store close by that we went to look and I spent time with a very pleasant store service rep and asked him to please show me what they have that is in stock and deliverable before Christmas. So we eliminated a lot of recliners that way that I sat in to try out.
I narrowed my choice down to two and finally after a bit made the decisin to purchase the more expensive one because it had more adjustment than the other one and I could really get comfortable in it because of that for both sleep and sitting. It has a power lumbar support that is adjustable as well as the headrest and of course the reclining part of the chair and it comes with a hidden cup holder, which seems to be the most important part to me... lol!!
So I am somewhat excited as we needed another piece of furniture in the family room anyway as I got rid of an older recliner lastyear and never replaced it and likely will replace the loveseat there whichhas been taken over by my 60 pound Red Heeler with part Yellow Lab for his bed. He loves that sofa...
So, is this what you used to sleep in and rest in on your recovery from your hip surgery? I just think, don't know, that it might be better than trying to wrestle getting onto our bed and trying to not do something stupid to have the hip come out of the socket..
Are you going to spend time in your recliner after the knee replacement?
I am awaiting that procedure also as my knee on same side as the hip replacement is bone on bone also..
I asked if we could both at same time while I am under the anesthesia and was told no.. I guess its a bit much for a person to tolerate.
Anyway, can't wait for my recliner to arrive. A really bad arthritic hip joint becomes truly annoying and keeps your entire leg in an uproar and in my case, my right foot as well. My hip is actually frozen in place. The ball does not rotate or move at all in the socket.. SO I have zero leg joint rotationwhichis wreaking havoc on my leg motion and stepping when I walk.
