Saved from being confined to bed (4,2)
I believe the answer is:
laid up
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'saved' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'being confined to bed' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for laid up that I've seen before include "in sickbed" , "Stayed off-green" , "bet on horse" , "Injured" , "Stored, preserved" .)
