Today is day 4 post-op for me and I'm finally starting to feel a little like my old self again. I was able to lay in my bed for a cat nap today for the first time without my organs feeling like they are rearranging themselves inside...lol I was so desperate for sleep the other night that I actually grabbed my pillow and blanket and slept in the passenger seat of my car!! NO LIE!! It was the only place I could think of to simulate a hospital bed at home and it worked. The next morning when I woke up In the driveway I remembered that my back living room couch is a sectional with a recliner on one end!!!! It had to be the pain meds that didn't allow that to come into my mind before I got into the dang car...lol I've been sleeping in the recliner now and it does help but I soooo want to be back in my bed for a full nights rest.

 

On another note and one that is typical for the way things go for me in my life, As I lay in the recliner this morning starting to notice that I was feeling a little better and like my old self again I sneezed and then realized that I NOW HAD A COLD!!!! Shaking my head I got up to use the restroom and then realized that I had also just STARTED MY PERIOD!!!!!!! All I could do was laugh and just roll with it...lol

I arranged about five large pillows in my bed to raise my head and back a little, and then put one long pillow under my legs. That helped me to sleep in my bed, like a little cacoon. I also put a pillow on my right side in case I need to roll over to one side...And then to get up, I would put my knee down, from my side and get on all fours and scoot to the edge of the bed...it works better than trying to get straight out of the bed.

Kiki, I had already tried to make a nest of pillow as well but I tend to move just way too much at night so they wouldn't stay put and I just gave up. However, I finally slept in my bed last night for a full night....yay!
