had surgery on Friday and was finally sent home yesterday after I passed lots of gas. Tonight is my first night home and I can't seem to get comfortable in bed. Those adjustable beds seem so amazing now! How did you prop yourself to ease discomfort?

Glad you're home. Lots of pillows help in bed, but it does get easier. You could also try sleeping in a Lazy-boy chair.
