One thing I would recommend is getting a reclining chair in her room/on whatever leve she’ll sleep on. My dad said the most difficult/painful part of the recovery was trying to get out of bed, so he spent much of his early recovery sleeping in a La-Z-Boy recliner.

Good luck to your mom, she is in good hands! And I hope everything goes really wel.

Thanks for the information! How did his cardiac rehabilitation go?

As for your recommendation for the reclining chair for the room, are you referring to her bedroom at home or a chair for the room in the hospital? Do you think we should bring a chair from home for the room? I am a little confused on that part.

Thanks!
