Question:
I broke three ribs and I wanted to know if I can use an electric recliner using the electric controls because I cannot get on the chair when it’s completely reclined
Answer:
Hello,
Hashem should send you a refuah shleima quickly.
B”H you are not considered as having a life threatening illness, rather in the category of a choleh shein bo Sakana, ( non- life threatening illness). A jew may not do melacha, for this, however you can ask a gentile to adjust the recliner for you.
Refuah Shleima
