Some of you may remember a couple of years ago I wrote about having rotator cuff surgery on my left shoulder. At the time, I mentioned all the daily living aids we have to help patients post surgery.
Well, last month I had the same surgery on my right shoulder. After my first convalescence, I swore if I were to go through it again I would buy a lift chair, as you pretty much live in a chair for the first five or six weeks of recovery.
What a difference that chair has made! I sleep better, the many positions available prioritize comfort and you don’t struggle to get up and out. I would highly recommend either buying or renting a lift chair to anyone recovering from major surgery or just in need of a little help getting up and out!
On a much happier note, I became a grandfather on March 13th! My son Alex and wife Jenna have a beautiful baby girl – Matilda Sue. Mom, dad and baby are doing great and preparing to move back to Naperville later this month. With Mother’s Day here in a week we have a new Mother to be grateful for!
