Hi, slowrunner

Having had to spend the better part of a year rehabbing in a recliner (not from PN but rom a sepsis infection), I've come to see recliners as both good and bad. They're good––in fact, they're unbeatable––when you need them, but after you've had to sit in one for months (as I did), they become a real temptation: you choose the recliner before other chairs (as I found myself doing) long after a recliner's ultra comfort is an all-day necessity. One day I looked down at myself all comfy in my recliner and thought, "Whoa! This makes me feel like I'm still in rehabilitation." I got right up and sat in straight-back dining room chair. It felt wierd at first––and good at the same time, a crazy little indicator that I might actually be getting better. My feeling about recliners these days (and mine is sitting right over there staring at me) is use 'em if you must (they're great), but don't use 'em all day long if you no longer need to use them all day long.
