Welcome to the forum, and sorry to hear that your health is deteriorating.
If you are ok leaving the hitch in your bed, then a traditional 5th wheel hitch will be fine. But, if you are thinking that you may want to use your bed for hauling at times, then I would recommend the setup we now have.
It's the Reese Goosebox, and instead of being a hitch, it replaces the pinbox on the trailer. Then all you have in the box is a gooseneck ball that can easily be removed if needed - no hitch at all in the bed!
We really like how well it works; it has air suspension and shocks built in, so it really smooths out the ride. The downside is that it is trickier to connect truck to trailer, as you need to position the pinbox right over top of the ball.
Here is a
link . But note you will need to chat with someone to make sure you get the right part number that fits the pinbox of your year and model of your trailer.
Hope that helps!
