Two years ago, after a DH had a catastrophic hip failure, he spent months in a recliner after surgery. It reclines horizontally to allow for sleeping, and every position in between. It also has lumbar adjustments. He still uses it all the time, and I think it is one of the best investments we made. It was not cheap, $800+, nor is it small. I think the best thing to do it check out various styles. Sounds like you've had a tough go since your accident!
