Guest guest Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 I was sleeping on my unoperated side within three days of my operation, which was done by Koen de Smet in Belgium. It was only about a week later that I was also able to lie on my operated side without any adverse effects. Jill Subject: The BIG Sleep Question..... My question concerns SLEEP. I know several people with THR and they all say that they must sleep on their backs for about 6 weeks, though some venture to incisionless side sooner. I am NOT a back sleeper and have to be soooo exhausted in order to sleep that way. Normally I am a side sleeper. I know I'll be needed my rest after surgery, so have any of you resurfs slept on your side as soon as you were released from the hospital? I know I'd be OK on my side with a pillow between the knees to prevent leg slipping...that I can do. Any stories out there? Any brave souls who dared to side sleep ASAP? How quickly did you get there? _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
