I had my surgery 6/29 and did have problems with pain. Everyday gets better and better. I still have my drain in which will come out Monday. I have slept in a recliner and still plan to do so until the drain is removed. It is just more comfortable for me. I am concentrating on sipping, walking, and resting. When I first got home I was watching the clock for pain meds. That passed though so just keep pressing on. Good luck!!
