I spent my first night after surgery in one of those awesome powered hospital beds that goes up, down, and all that jazz. It made it so easy to find a comfortable position to sleep in. When I came home I had this awesome rocker/recliner chair that allowed me to do the same thing. It hurt to lie back all the way, and it hurt to sit up straight. But I could kick my feet up, lean back just a little bit, and go to sleep with a minimum of discomfort. There are times when the littlest of things makes all the difference in the world.
