I can't see trying to get comfy and elevate properly on a "two-seater" sofa/love seat. We have both a sofa and a love seat and I can barely get comfy on the sofa; trying to lie down, or sit, and elevate on the love seat would be a recipe for disaster IMHO. You won't really feel like socializing for a while anyway so I suggest you make a recovery nest in your bedroom for when you need to mostly rest, and as you're up more, spend more time downstairs. The bed is for sleeping I agree, but also a cozy nest when ill, recovering from surgery, etc. That way you're always in a comfy spot, can rest whenever you need to and hubby won't need to worry he's too loud, etc. Plus all the clutter of a recovery will be confined to your bedroom and not in the main living area(s) of your home, which is really helpful when you've recovered enough to notice the clutter but are not yet able to do anything about it. I also suggest if you need your hubby, call or text him on his cell phone. That way he'll help you out and you won't be hollering down to him.
