Greetings from the US. My first pre-op appointment with my surgeon is scheduled for Friday, July 29th, 2022. Terrified, of course, but mind made up. As a retired teacher, I'm also an obsessive planner. Decided my first order of business is to practice sleeping on my back because I'm a restless sleeper on the best of nights (my dog will sometimes give up and head to the living room couch, poor thing). I flop from side to side and throw my covers in an effort to get temperature-controlled and comfortable. The next morning my room looks like a war zone. So the idea of having to stay in one position all night-- on my back no less -- feels unattainable and I live in fear of dislocation. I've spent the past week trying to train myself...and wake up on my side or with such a sore back it makes my bad left hip almost feel good.
Anyone else here who has dealt with this who might have suggestions? Must say I'm delighted to have found bonesmart!
