First night home

[sc09 95]

This is my first night home and not sure what will be the most comfortable way to sleep. Any input is appreciated.

Recliner, or bed with lots of pillows.

I had surgery Wednesday and went home Thursday. I've spent the last 3 nights in a recliner. I'm still definitely not ready for getting into my bed.

Wayfair memory foam mattress. And my fiancé to help pull me out of bed because the doctor said to refrain from using abdominal muscles (also it hurts like hell to get up out of chairs/beds/couch [emoji24]; kind of having that "wtf did I do" moment)

I've had buyers remorse since the 1st day in the hospital. Only one side is sore, which I don't get but guess I should be a little grateful. I have serious anxiety about ripping staples and having a leak. Now I'm 2nd guessing my Protein Shakes. I have some pure Protein which seem kinda thick and some Premier Protein that aren't as thick but still scared to drink. I'm such a paranoid freak.

I so understand that. I was sleeved Thursday and went home Friday; so much pain. My husband has been a big help in helping me in and out of bed. It has really been a struggle. I can't help but think I'm pulling my stomach muscle at times.

I slept in the recliner last night but even getting up out of it is killing me.

I slept on my back once I got home. Having someone help you get up is always a plus. I was sleeved last Saturday. The pain is now 99% gone.

That WTF feeling only lasts a couple of days... then you will be feeling that it is the best thing you have done for yourself.

The best way to get up is to roll over to your side and push yourself up that way. To try and get up from being flat on your back uses your abdominal muscles more and hurts. Having someone to help you is even better!
