Hi @Grandma317
Prayers your aspiration shows no sign of infection. I think spending one night in the hospital is wise for the reasons you mentioned.
Curious as to why your surgeon is discouraging the use of a lift recliner?
While a recliner isn't a necessary recovery item, It is difficult for me to imagine my recovery without mine. It was not only comfortable, but convenient for the assistance it offered at a time when getting out of a chair can feel like a challenge.
I loved mine for its wide range of positions to relax in. If you purchase, rent, or borrow one that doesn’t offer the lift capability, you may need to make the recliner sit a bit higher and that can easily be done with a simple wood platform or blocks.
Reclining with your feet above heart level, toes above nose, allows gravity to naturally reduce inflammation, boosting circulation and aiding in recovery. I viewed it as a win, WIN!
Wishing you comfort and a nice weekend. Will look forward to your update next week.
