    Im dying to sleep in my bed but it was too much of a pain to get out of the bed. Getting in it was no problem but out nope! It hurt bad too so im forced to sleep in my chair now with some pillows and a blanket going to move my cpap machine to the living room too. I swear any place isnt good for me to sleep. I wish I had one of those amazing hospital chair/beds they have. Those were so nice. I could lift and lower, sit up move around pretty decently.

    The "Log Roll" method to get in and out of bed is so much help here! I'm surprised they don't teach it more during pre-op and at the hospital.
