GREAT .... I was hoping the recliner would arrive soon.

You may be able to sleep more than a couple of hours tonight.

When you elevate your legs in the recliner, are you in as much pain as you were when you just propped your legs up?

I’m praying that this will do the trick and start reducing some of the swelling.

Strangely enough, my feet and legs hurt more when they’re elevated. That’s why I haven’t been able to sleep in a bed. As soon as I get flat the pain starts, and it’s too hard for me to keep getting up and down in bed. With the electric recliner I’ll be able to pop an ibuprofen capsule, lie back and easily sit up again if it starts hurting too bad. If I have to sleep sitting up, at least I’ll be more comfortable in the recliner. But I’m going to try to keep my feet elevated for as long as I can stand it. As they say, no pain, no gain.
