Hi all

I have a provisional date for September 8th and I've just completed my chair/ sofa measurements for the hospital and realise that my setees in the lounge (3 and 2 seaters) are both too low. There isn't a single chair in the lounge but I do have one in the children's playroom but this has a very low back so not comfortable for long sitting or dozing in.

What advice can you give for the appropriate type of chair that I'll need post op. Is it worth me looking in charity shops for example to buy a high backed type? How long will I be needing it?

Many thanks.
