Feet up

HI Hipsters
Yet another question, sorry to keep bombarding you. I got a riser/recliner as a surpise xmas present and want to know if it is ok to sit with feet raised up and if you are allowed to prop your feet up on a cushion in bed after hip replacement. I know hips have to be above knees but wondered is a slight raise is ok.

I used a recliner, ahd had no problems at all in that way. I think raised feet is recommended for swolen legs - the trouble is that everyone seems to get different advice, from hospital to hospital, from country to country.
Best wishes

When on the sofa I found I was most comfy with at least two pillows behind my knees for support and also used these in bed. My surgeon said that as long as I kept my hips straight I could sleep how I wanted. I slept on my side from week two with about a hundred pillows propping me up!
My six week x-ray showed a perfectly placed implant so I did

it would certainly be OK to put your feet on a cushion if lying flat in bed.
