Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Just a little question about chairs, did you all have a recliner for when you came out of hospital? I am looking into getting one for me now and there is no sign of an operation for me yet. I find it hard to sit in a normal seat as my hip doesnt go to 90 degrees anymore. I was just wondering what sort of chair you had (I know that sounds silly) but did you get have one of the ones that helps you stand too or just a normal recliner from a furnture shop - would either do? I am having trouble accepting everything that is going on with me and the thought of having what my nephew described as " an old womans chair " at the age of 28 fills me with horror where as a leather recliner is somewhat appealing - as long as its comfortable then does it make a difference? Not sure that I make sense, but I am sure you know what I mean! Thanks hippies Liney ____________________________________________________________ Yahoo! Messenger - Communicate instantly...

You might keep an eye on the classified ads. A lot of people buy these for their elderly relatives, then sell them when the relative no longer has need for it. Probably the cheapest way to go. Also, your church (or *a* church if you don't belong to one) often has items for loan. Mine has my platform that I made for my computer chair, and it has served several others well.
