I like the recliner idea myself. Is your surgery for Myasthenia Gravis? One thing I would be sure to have on hand after surgery is phenergan for nausea. It will also make your pain medication work more effectively. Then, with any surgery and post-op pain control you will need to drink plenty of fluids and maybe use a stool softner if you tend to be constipated. The surgery and pain pills can cause constipation.
