To almost a week since I had surgery and ever since I came home I have been having the most difficult time sleeping. My head positioning is horrific and gives me a headache at the right side of the back of my head. Then it's hard to bring myself up since my body slouches down to the point that u fear I'm straining myself getting up from the bed. I have even tried to recliner and sofa and nothing is good for me; same results. I'm getting so frustrated but also worried due to not wanting to strain and catch some kind of hernia and end up getting opened up again. It's getting so hard when you're trying you're all with this 90% of the time by yourself.

Any chance you can buy or borrow either a full body pillow or a pregnancy pillow? I have heard people find it a lot easier to sleep with something to prop/brace themselves with. I wish I had had something like that! I struggled with sleeping for the first week-10 days as well. It does get better but it's hard to get through those first several nights.
