Knee Injury in Hospital, How to make yourself more comfortable

3 replies

Hi All

I have currently been in hospital with a knee injury for 7 days and as the surgery is quite complex may be here for at least another 7-14 days.

I am finding things quite emotionally difficult due to being totally bedbound, I cannot move more than a couple of centimetres on my own. I am looking for things to lift my spirits a bit and make me feel less of a failure and wondered if you had any suggestions of how to make my stay slightly more comfortable but also nice things I can do. If any of you have any ideas at all I would be very grateful

Thank you Maddy. I was just about to add one thing I am particularly struggling with is feeling like I am always sliding down the bed so a comfy cushion could be good.

I would also like to order one of those grabber things so I am not constantly ringing the bell asking people to reach things for me.
