Day 17.
Wife and son will be leaving this morning to fly to Los Angeles. His club basketball team has a tournament this weekend. That will leave me with my 12 y/o daughter for a few days! Plenty of time to get the house ready for a nice Mother’s Day return. They arrive late, so Mother’s Day dinner will be on Monday!
Sleeping is getting better. Have tried to roll over on the new hip side a few times. Can tolerate about 5 minutes so far. Just a deep, uncomfortable achy feeling. Otherwise, back and non-op side are golden! I’ve discovered an extra large pillow between my legs lengthwise works great! On my back, the pillow lengthwise under just the hip leg works for me.
It takes some experimentation to find what works best.
