Does this chair make my feet look fat?

Haha. I?ve read a bunch of posts about buying a recliner to help with loose skin surgery. We were all prepared to bring down some furniture from my parent's home instead, but then Mom said she wanted a particular piece.

As soon as that was out of her mouth, my lovely wife said, "We can get you a recliner now!". So today off we went to the Lazy Boy store. We looked at a bunch of recliners. There were two which fit the Bill (haha). One was white. That ain?t a gonna work when the dog is a Rottweiler who loves to sleep in her master's chair when he ain?t around. The other was brown, and clearance, which meant I could forego the $99 delivery fee and throw it in the back of my truck. So I did.

I love it. I need a catheter so I don?t have to get up. Seriously, I think it will work out well. The woman who sold it to us looked at me like I had three heads when I told her I don?****ch TV. Ever. I read, I surf the Net, and I come here to annoy certain people. What else could anyone want? Hopefully it helps with my flapectomy. But even if it doesn?t, I will survive, and enjoy it whilst poking the bear. Or the flying monkey.

Oh yeah. Annie the Animal is laughing at me. Or someone.

We love her. She is a big goof. She is a 90 lb dog that thinks she is a 10 lb dog. We know that because we used to have a small backup dog who was only 10 lbs, and she behaves just like he did.

Bill, you may want to put a tall footrest under your feet in the chair when you're recovering. I am tall too and the weight of your feet dangling off the end hurts after a while and puts pressure on the backs of your calves, which made my feet swell like sausages.

Thank you. I will see what I can do about that. Surgery has been delayed a few weeks, so I have some time. My feet are huge. Even after surgery, I wear a size 15 5 E boot.
