@thewife Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I imagine there are a lot of things going through both of your minds as you prepare for next week's surgery.

I have found using a recliner helps me get a more restful position many times. We have a three cushion couch, with the two ends having motorized recliners, even able to adjust the headrest separately! There are many nights I simply stay there for the night. While we do not have the electric lift feature that @sally0526 mentioned, when needed I have a cane nearby to help stabilize me to get up. From experience, going slow is critical! A recliner can offer many different positions and finding one that will encourage restful slumber is important!

Having fluids, a book or laptop, or other amusements nearby will help your husband relax and recover. How are both you and he doing with all this? Has he gotten a treatment plan from his medical team?
