Try what uptown said. And yes re the work... he may need a little nursing care to come in - do they have that available for you?
It will get easier once you settle into a routine and things heal a bit more. hugs and good luck.

It was switched out for the home model and my husband is very satisfied with it. He's still struggling with getting secretions out. We go for check up with surgeon tomorrow. Poor guy hasn't really been sleeping at all. He will only try in his recliner. Willing to order and adjustable bed. Any suggestions are most appreciated. I did buy him a wedge pillow
