Does anyone know which choice is preferred/right? The sentence is: "The patient has been mostly bedbound." Smartype expansion software doesn't have it, but I did find a dictionary entry for it. I've come across this before but I don't think I had it right then, either. Thanks in advance.

The patient is a 70-year-old, bed-bound, chronically ill-appearing man.
The patient is bed bound.
That's how I'd do them.....
bed bound
Subject: bed bound
if the sentance stated the patient was a bed-bound patient, it would be like that. Not 1 word.
Love,
Bun
