Sitting sofa v dining chair

Ikea poang chair?  I found this comfortable with lower back pain because the back is shaped to be supportive in this area.  No idea if it would have the same impact post nephrectomy as I didn't have one.  They are frequently available on gumtree. 

I've known several people who have had hip replacements, and their sofas have been too low. I think it is occupational therapists who can supply things that raise the height of the sofa....like cups that you put under castors, but higher. 4 very thick books would do the same job! So long as they are an equal depth.

But don't try lifting up your sofa to put the books underneath !    

 You know me too well by now! I'd attempt that myself just through the sheer frustration!  NOT!  Went to bed in the end, fell asleep till now 8.30pm-11.3pm- now I'm awake!! Need to sort out something fast to make it easier 

Know the problem, I put some cushions flat and then a pillow on top of the cushions on the sofa seat and sit on that so higher and a then a V cushion behind for support. Still do this 4.5 mths after surgery as easier to get up. 

A raised loo seat can be a great help too.

Thank you
