Vitrectomy

I am due for a combined Vitrectomy and Cataract removal soon. As I also have Glaucoma I must be careful post op not to increase my eye pressures by having my head lower than my heart.

Can anyone recommend a suitable aid to help with the possible pronation position post op ? As I could be called in any day on a cancellation it would be good to hear ideas. I know it is possible to hire equipment but it may be difficult to get it in time as they have not given me a definite date.

I should be very grateful for any advice, thank you.
