   Sorry to hear of the issues.     
      
   I've been off the comuter for a week.  Husband having heart trouble.   
      
   Does the chair fit so your back is to it and knee backs snug to the rim as you   
   sit?   
      
   There are a few fixes if too deep.   
      
   Meantime, Asian_link rocking along (grin).
