I'm having a full hysterectomy (robotic), but I don't have an adjustable bed or a recliner. Aside from buying a new chair, any thoughts on recovering on a couch in terms of position or special pillows to buy?

Hi there, I'm 44 and had full abdominal hysterectomy 9wks ago. I didn't hve anything different apart from large pants to cover wound which were fab and elastic waist comfy day trousers! I was advised to watch a youtube video on getting up from bed after hysterectomy and to be honest, that was the best tool! Move around with care and you'll be fine. I was surprised at how mobile I was post op and ended up doing far too much! I didn't need anything different for sleeping or sitting during the day.Best of luck with your op!
