I'm laying in my bed but kind if on in incline due to pillows and blankets. I tried the recliner last night and my neck was horribly stuff today from it. Screw that. I napped in my bed and woke up hurting a bit too. :/ but I'll take the bed over the recliner

Is anyone laying flat yet...I've been sleeping in a recliner since its easier to get up. I think I might try the bed tonight

I bounce between the bed and recliner. I can lay flat on my back in bed with pillows of course for my head. My husband helps me in and out of bed though. Don't try to lift your legs into the bed by yourself, it will hurt your stomach muscles.

How do you manage to get up from bed

Getting into bed and out of bed is a challenge, I don't recommend you trying it by yourself. My husband helps me in and out of bed and actually sleeps in the other room, so he won't accidentally hurt me while I sleep. He keeps his phone next to him and I call him when I need to get up. He has been amazing!!!!

How do you manage to get up from bed

Remember to use your legs and brace yourself on the person helping you into bed. I sort of roll into the bed and I am sleeping on the opposite site of bed so that I get into bed from my right side.

I slept in bed last night, and it was probably the worst pain yet! I'll go back to the recliner

Amanda, I don't know that it matters if it is a bed or recliner. sleeping is not fun or relaxing! I finally gave up and just went to bed. I do start the night on my back with 3 pillows, and eventually just try to find some position that's not too uncomfortable. I keep reminding myself that it will get better!

I slept in a recliner the first three nights home and in bed the last two nights. The thing that has saved me is my body pillow. Strangely enough I am most comfortable on my left side leaning against it.
