I will be taking your advice. I feel like I need to rest a lot. My energy is low. It's not that I feel tired, just that I don't feel like doing anything active. I assume that my energy is going in to healing. Whatever it is, sitting or laying around and napping feels right. I am free of commitments so I can make the most of it.

My first couple weeks out of the hospital I could have an hour or so of activity followed by a 3-4 hour nap. when I say activity that just might mean watching TV or making it downstairs or to the bathroom. I prabably spent 12-16 hours a day sleeping for about ten days.

Just the regular bed, customized...sandy23 said:So glad to hear that you are
So glad to hear that you are doing well.
Just out of curiousity, are you guys able to sleep in a regular bed after surgery? Is is better to sit up or be propped up with pillows? Just curious if it makes a difference.
After surgery, when I came home I slept in my own bed. I did customize it a bit by putting it on bed risers so I wasn't having to get up out of a hole (I did the same thing to a firm sofa, not so I could sleep there, but so I could comfortably sit there). Also, I'm a side sleeper, too. I put a very firm memory foam lumbar pillow between my legs. That kept me from twisting my torso (AIEEEEE!) as I slept (Ahhhhh).
Trying to sleep or sit in a recliner on a good day doesn't work for me. I'm ever so glad I didn't attempt it.
