    During the few days after surgery, many people find it difficult to sleep in their beds and instead sleep in a recliner or couch.

    Normally, I slept on my side but that was uncomfortable so I slept on my back for a few weeks.

    A few months after surgery, the fat disappeared around my knees. And when I slept on my side, I could feel my leg bones rubbing together. That was unnerving. I found that sliding a pillow between my legs at night helped.

    A body pillow was my savior until I could sleep on my stomach again.
