Been there and done that. I bought my first Lazy Boy because of busted ribs. Playing with teenagers in the pool. I took Vykadan. Although I slept well in the chair the drugs made me feel bad. So I quit. I got the chills so bad that I put my hunting suit on for about 4 hours. But the chair did the trick. I could actually get up and down. I would have never done it in the bed.
Yup. Same here. Doc TOLD my son to sleep in a recliner when he broke his rib.
