I am 7 days post op. I still can not lay flat. Felt pretty good today and I think I kinda over did it. I just hope I didn't un do anything. Anyway how long was it before you could sleep in own bed. Recliner getting old and I only sleep a couple of hrs

I slept in my bed right after surgery when I got home. I just slept on my back and propped up on pillows. It took a pain pill for the first few nights to be able to sleep

I slept one night in a chair. I took meds every 4 hours. I didn't sleep 8 hours until about 7 days post op. I'm 3.5 weeks post, and I now can sleep on my tummy.

Thank you for your responses. I am going to try tonight, don't like taking pain meds. Make me sick and I don't want to take m. I need to sleep more than 2-3 hrs.

Hiya! If you can dont use any pain meds. I was feeling terrible all the time in the early days and totally sluggish and unwell.

Then I decided to stop my meds and see what happens. And suddenly it was is if I escaped prison or something - felt much better!

Meds did me more harm than good.

I slept on the couch till my third week, it just was more comfortable and I couldn't try and lay on my side

I'm with Cathy, I slept on the sofa for 4 weeks.. Partly because my bed is really tall and I'm only 4'10" so it hard for me to get in it when I'm well... Really not something I want to attempt right after surgery. Plus my sofa is uber comfy !!!

I slept in my recliner, just much easier to get up from and it was uncomfortable to lay flat.

For 2-3 weeks
