Sitting problems

After sitting one way (with both feet folded under me or just one on the couch), my body, from my head to toes one day just screamed NO! The horrible pain only lasted about 12 hours but clearly sitting that way was no longer an option. (I can once again sit cross legged on the bed at night for about an hour while I play games and listen to my book but an hour is all I get.)

So I rearranged my living room and started sitting in a proper chair with my feet on the floor. My feet proceeded to balloon into fat sausages. Some of this may be that it's still hot but I'm guessing most of it is just having them on the floor. Dr. Google says that this is non-pitting edema and no big deal. Dr. Google does not, apparently, take into account the expense of my having to buy bigger shoes.

Plus, it's not that comfortable. Probably it is the chair.

I need something that is comfortable enough to sit up and use the computer and also lean back, put my feet up and watch TV while I knit and crochet. Yes, I could move my ass and compute in one place and knit in another but I don't wanna.

A recliner seems like an idea but they are all so huge. And weirdly different. Plus, I really don't want leather or pleather. I want fabric that isn't ugly. And I need the foot rest to come out when I am sitting up and not just when I'm sitting back. And I don't want to wait for freakin' ever.

fflo got this one a while back and I've thought about it many times. I think maybe I might have to let go of the fabric and my love of bright colors. It's just so huge.



And I keep trolling Amazon for options. And not finding the perfect one. arugh.

I have another chair. I might switch out the two and try it for a while but I'm not hopeful.

Today's plans include baseball and well, really that's it. I have a couple of small chores but not that much. I'd like to get my temperature blanket caught up to at least August. I'm mid-July now (one square a day).

I think now, I'll get another cup of coffee and look at Amazon recliners some more.
