Hi Jeanette! I don't have a recommendation for any specific chair. I have a very basic La-Z-Boy from about 1975 that I just love. I found an electric recliner at a thrift shop for $175. I used the electric part solely for adjusting position. I could stand and sit, unassisted, before I left the hospital (that's a great skill to practice before surgery, btw!). I got luck, my chair was comfy. I only used it for a few weeks though, because my regular recliner is more comfortable. The key to comfort is supporting all those muscles that were abused during surgery - mid & upper back, neck, and shoulder. The more pillows you can stuff under those areas to let the muscles relax, the less pain you'll have. I'm in Holiday, FL, let me know if you ever get over toward Clearwater/Tarpon Springs area, we'll get together for a quick cup of coffee or tea.
What else?

Jeanette Davidson Thanks so much for the information. And yes we should have a heart sister Florida reunion that would be great. My husband just purchased a really beautiful lift chair recliner for me today . So I think I am all set. I can't wait to see my doctor on the 30th so we can move forward with the surgery which will probably be within a week from then. On pins and needles right now ! I really think the waiting is One of the hardest!
Take care heart sisters !❤️

The unknown is so hard - probably the hardest part!. I think once we know what needs to be done or once something is done, we can move forward, otherwise, we are just in this teeter totter mode, and it frankly drives me crazy! I'll pray for peace for you!
Jeanette Davidson Thanks for your understanding you hit it right on the head !💕

Jeanette Davidson I am doing ok , thanks! Awaiting to have an angiogram probably towards the end of the month. It's just confusing because I am asymptomatic so some days I think do I really need to have the surgery? Waiting to see and speak to the doctor after the studies are done including the CAT scan! 💕

Duane Beeman I am asymptomatic as well. But in three weeks I'm going to walk in and voluntarily get my ass kicked. Then I'm going to stand up and walk back out again. Grab my hand. I'll pull you through this with me.
