So — we finally decided to bite the bullet and get two new chairs. Our old ones just weren’t doing it anymore. Bruce’s rocking recliner bent too low for him to get in and out of easily. His bum leg needs more support when he gets up. My overstuffed chair was too deep for me. I needed a cushion behind my back and that wasn’t working too well either as it tended to slip down.
Saturday we headed off to shop for two chairs which we found in the second store we tried. We chose power lift recliners — one large and solid to fit Bruce and another smaller one for me. We had them delivered the next day and soon sank down with audible aahhs. It’s great to have a chair that actually fits. Monday afternoon I took a nice long nap. You know — to break it in. zzzzzz
