sleeping on your back?!?!?

I was able to sleep on my side using pillows in the hospital (I asked for extra pillows). I can only sleep on my back if I am on some heavy meds that knock me out; otherwise I am always a side sleeper.

Good luck and your body will tell you if it doesn't like moving that way.

You others were lucky! I was just like Feystorm. It has taken 4 weeks before I could lie on my side without such significant pain I wouldn't be able to fall asleep. And I have always been a side sleeper. It has been a LONG 4 weeks of sleeping on my back and I am very grateful it is over!

Yeah I'm on cpap with oxygen and a humidifier. I can't sleep without it. Sleeping on my back is still about impossible...breathing is so overrated anyway. I guess folks that can do it just take it for granted... But it must be nice.
I'm gonna rock my sleeve (when I get it) lose this weight and throw this machine as far as I can! ;-D
