How long did you post op girlies sleep upright for??

Just wondered really… is it a case of when you feel comfortable or do you need to do it for so long to help with swelling? Im still on the sofa as im scared my hubbie might turn round and catch me… lol! Im 5 days post op…

Hi hun, when i saw the nurse at 11 days post op she said I could sleep normally then. I still can’t sleep on my side but I do sleep lower – I found I was getting back ache being propped up so high.

Good question. I love my sleep

Is it hard to sleep at first or do the meds help? x

How are you doing btw Pink? Are you feeling ok, has all gone well so far? x

I havent really had any pain at all to be honest.. I ached for first few days and my ribs felt abit brusied but nothing like the pain i was expecting… i was off the strong painkillers within 2 days…

Ive found im not sleeping as upright as i was and im sleeping better! First morning i woke up and i felt so stiff but no pain… the trick is to keep moving them first few days without lifting anything too heavy so you arent pulling on your scars but your not stiffening up! lol!

Whens your opp jessicarabbit?
