If you have any tendency toward falling asleep while using your computer late night or early in the morning make sure that your chair has arms.
The chair that I had been using didn't have arms and to make it worse my daughter had been on me about it because she had a extra chair with arms.
Yes you are right, sometime around 1a.m. I fell out of my chair. I was luckly and didn't break anything, didn't hit my head but I peeled way back a halfmoon piece of skin on my forearm about seven inches long and the blood freely flowed. I tried to get up but couldn't make it so I called 911. It wasn't long untii I heard voices outside my door. I have a lock key box just outside my door with the combination. on file at the PD and FD. They took me to the ER and took some X-Rays and a CAT Scan of my head. My ribs are sore but just bruised. I was very fortunate.
I am now sitting in the chair with arms that my daughter wanted to give me over a year ago. I have alerted the Nurse that comes tomorrow to bring big non-stick pads. My daughter was here when the nurse called and got in her two cents worth and the nurse sided with her. It is no wonder that this chair was unused. The seat feels like concrete and a thin foam cushion don't help much. Gotta have a thicker, firmer foam cushion.
I didn't call my daughter to come get me from the hospital, I called my grandson and he told her the next morning. She didn't even chew on me, just brought me the chair.

I have two extra recliners and would gladly give you one if you were closer! VERY GLAD it wasn't worse than it was, get well quickly.
