Hey All,
New thread time... I braved the stairwell last night, first time, 21 days post op. Slept in the bed with Jess, a full size bed, (not quite as small as a twin, not quite as big as a queen), on a memory foam mattress. It was alternately GREAT, and not so great...
I've been in a recliner without exception since coming home 5 days post op. The bed was nice, but I spent about 70% of the time on my non surgical right side, 25% on my back, and 5% on my left surgical side... the left side didn't work so well, and every time I shifted, (every 30 minutes), I woke my Wife by grunting, grumbling, or moaning in pain. She suggested I sleep downstairs in the recliner again tonight! LOL ~ Went ok overall, but I used a body pillow between my legs, and an hour after I fell asleep, realized I had crossed my legs at the ankle. Had lots of weird dreams too, one included huge, viscious grizzley bears attacking me and her, and large firearms to boot... strange!! I slept harder and deeper for 30 minutes a stretch, but woke up far more often than when in the easy chair. I'm going to spend another week in the recliner...
