Sleeping post op

[Matt C]

I threw a recliner in my room used it on occasion I agree with everyone lots of pillows.

I know I sound like a broken record, but YES get a recliner; to go a step further it MUST be a lazy boy. If it wasn't for my chair I would not have gotten the amount of sleep that I got. Even when I tried sleeping in the bed, I would wake up about 2am with back pain from having to stay on my back. When I got in my chair I would drift away with no pain.

TIP - line your bed and chair with towels, you will sweat like a whore in church for a few weeks after surgery while you sleep. As you wake up remove a towel and you now have a dry surface.

WARNING - as you recover you will NOT want to give up your lazy boy, so buy one that matches your other stuff. Do not name your chair despite the growing relationship, it will cost you money in marriage counseling.

good luck

FUNNY FUNNY post Hook!!!! SO true!!!!

James,

I agree with the recliner 100% as posted by Hook. I also slept only on my back for about 6 weeks afterwards and used lots of pillows which propped me up when I did sleep in bed, and I had no problems falling asleep that way.

We're all different, so I'm sure you'll find out right away what works for you the best!

Thinking of you,
