I'm one week PS, got home last Fri, so one week tomorrow. I tried the first day to lay down, but only lasted 1 1/2 hrs then, before having to get up, because of the discomfort, and being startled.
Last 2 days, I extended that time out to a few hours, before having to get up and sleep on the Lazy Boy, due to pain and discomfort.
Well, last night, I was able to sleep the entire night in the bed, with a piss break in between. I slept about 7 on my back, and just for the hell of it, I ended up with about an hour on my right side. If I didn't have this extreme pain in my left shoulder blade, I'd be much more mobile.
I'm so happy about this mild milestone, becuase after the last surgery 3 years ago, I slept in the Lazy Boy for about 2 months, and I never got any sleep at night longer than 2-3 hours without any sleep medication.
Now, I'm sleeping in the bed after 1 week, and I'm not taking any sleep meds!! I'm sure there will be days that I will have to get up and finish sleeping in the Lazy Boy, but for now, I'm glad for this small step forward!!
