tiff86 19 Posted December 21, 2017 Me too! The hospital bed was so uncomfortable and so is my bed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Marusek 5,244 Posted December 21, 2017 During the few days after surgery, many people find it difficult to sleep in their beds and instead sleep in a recliner or couch. Normally, I slept on my side but that was uncomfortable so I slept on my back for a few weeks. A few months after surgery, the fat disappeared around my knees. And when I slept on my side, I could feel my leg bones rubbing together. That was unnerving. I found that sliding a pillow between my legs at night helped. 1 FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
