Preparing for surgery

I was scheduled for surgery with Dr Lee at St Vincent's hospital on Thursday, Sept 18.  They did a Vitrectomy with a gas bubble.  This meant that I would have to be face down for 7-10 days approximately.  I ordered a vitrectomy chair and a bunch of cushions to be used for sitting or sleeping.  It arrived on the Wednesday before the surgery.  I had time to get it all set up.   
The chair is like a modified massage chair.  The head is further forward. There is a little table that can be set up with a mirror to watch TV or see people.  We came up with a set up for my lap top.

I set up the sleeping cushion on the couch. I was afraid that if I put it in the bed that I would just roll over in my sleep and get comfortable.  I am not a stomach sleeper.
