Uncomfortable Night

[adelarosa33 0]

So last night was my first night at home since surgery and it was not so pleasent. I did have some pain, not excrutiating but a little bothersome pain. The worst part was that I am sooo used to sleeping on my belly and I couldn't. Thank god the painkillers knocked me out! I did wake up in the middle of the night and had to take more painkillers just so I can go back to sleep. I ended up just knocking out on my back but caught myself a few times wanting to turn on my belly. So a lil word of advise to those who sleep on their bellies...

START PRACTICING NOW sleeping ON YOUR BACK!! lol

I wanted to turn on my belly so bad last night! lol :tongue2:

I know what you mean! I'm not normally a belly sleeper, but I do sleep on my sides and I HATE sleeping on my back! But since my surgery on Monday It's been so hard to get any decent amount of sleep. For the past few nights I have been waking up every 2 hours. So I try to utilize that time by drinking some Water and walking around a bit to get the blood moving in my legs.

Hope tonight is better for you. I actually got to sleep on my right side last night, my left side is still a bit too achy!

Thanks for the advice! I'm a belly sleeper and I was wondering how I was going to manage. I guess I'm just going to have to suffer, because there is no way I can sleep on my back. When I was 19 I had my tonsils taken out and even then after the anesthesia and liquid codeine I couldn't sleep on my back!

Abbypoo me 2! I have never slept on my back til last night and at the hosital. If it weren't for the pain meds knocking me out I wouldn't have fallen asleep! I wonder how long it will be til I can sleep on my belly again!! :tongue2:

I hope you can sleep on your belly again soon! I've tried several times to try to sleep on my back, but to no avail! So I can imagine how much it stinks to not be able to.
