...I went to Big Lots and sat in five or six and picked the cheapest on that was comfy. All the bells and whistles are just annoyances to my old curmudgeon arse. You will not have to sleep in it full time. It will be useful for those times that ya can't get to sleep or even comfortable in the bed or when the wife or whoever is working or sleeping and ya don't want to get in the way. If there is any way you can raise the recliner about four inches (small platform perhaps) it will be much easier to get into and out of. Otherwise you will have to have to have help to get up. You should have an assist belt
that the mz can use to pull you up. The tongue on the belt is long enough she can grab on to it and pull with her legs and noe lean way over and pull with her back. It will also be easier on you for her to pull on the belt rather than pulling on ya arms. Another plus for the belt instead of the arms is that you can help life with ya arms on the arms of the recliner.
Tell the mz she heeds to start running wind sprints and practicing sandwich and beer fetchings and also to come take ya to the whizzer whenever a commercial comes on. Keeping her busy during your recovery will help keep her from worrying about you so much.
