OH my! The recliner is a good idea. There wasn't a chair in our house that was comfortable for me so I spent a lot of time lying on the bed. And getting in the car was excruciating becuase I had to bend my leg. Bless him and bless you. Get those ice packs ready. And sometime I 'll have to write the story of how I got stuck on the toiiet and the whole family had to get involved.
