I was in my bed on day 1, I usually sleep half on my side, half on my stomach. I think it was about a week before I could sleep normally.

I was in my bed on day 1 as well but could not sleep on my side for about 2 weeks. I would use pillows to make a ramp to keep my head elevated.

I've not had a good sleep since my surgery 22/03/2015. I'm sleeping in my bed though I normally sleep in the foetus position and at present I'm having to sleep flat on my back due to my wound which still have not healed. I think once they have healed I'll beable to sleep in my normal position, lets hop anyway.

The first night in the hospital I was told I had to stay at a 45 degree position. When the Doctor came in and released me he said any position was fine with him. I have only been able to sleep in an hour and a half intervals but that includes sleeping on my side and stomach. I just have to be careful how I get in and out of the position. Good Luck.

Well I know why now. I had an abscess in site. It burst two days ago. Now I am opened back up with packing changes twice a day so that pressure and pain stopped me from laying flat. Now even with packing it feels so much better. Got a date with my bed Saturday night, I got high hopes in it working now!

Been in my bed since the first night but propped up on 4 pillows....hurts to lay flat or on my sides still. I only sleep about 2 hours at a time for some reason. Sorry to hear of your abscess hope all heals well.
