upcoming LBL- 2 questions for the pros....

Yep, that is the post I tried to find yesterday and couldn't find it...

Thanks so much!  Alice

Start practicing sleeping on your back.  Each night start out on your back, with pillows under your knees if necessary.  Lie that way for a while  as you get drowsy and then when it becomes a problem, roll over and go to sleep.  I did this before my second PS and it helped when it became time to returmn to my bed from the recliner.

Don't forget to take a stool softener with each pain pill.  Still a glycerine suppository or two may be needed.  Good luck.  Loris

I'm newly postop, so I'm not a pro, but for me:

1. I'm in a compression garment 24/7.  When my drains were in, I wore nightgowns that snapped in the front.  Now that my drains are out, I either wear comfy jammies or sweatpants and sweatshirt.

2. Dr. said I could shower this past Saturday...11 days postop.
 

 

Hope you are doing well and continue a trouble free recovery.   Wow, 11 days and no shower, I'd be nuts.  A friend gave me her compression garment so I'll have a spare when I need to wash mine. 

Thanks for the info!
