Oh yaaaaa
Hey bud Im guessing you didnt cheer my packers on thursday night:mrgreen:
No, what I did was sleep on a couch. That way I could prop my back against the back of the couch and I wouldn't be tempted to roll on my left side. I have a recliner, but I couldn't get comfortable enough sleeping on my back. I did it that way until the sling came off, which was about three weeks. Some are successful with using the recliner, the couch worked best in my case.Thank you all. today feels better than yesturday and im sure it will all get better. The hard part now is I get about two to three hours of sleep at a time and get up for 5 ,6 hours. cant wait to get a good nights sleep. Don when you had your shoulder did you sleep in a recliner?
Yeah, sleeping in one position stinks, but rolling over will keep you awake for a lot longer. You realize, now that they've put pins in your shoulder, you're going to mess up any MRI's that they might want to give you from now on? They tried to take them about six months after my surgery and they didn't work. They were trying to find out why I showed two small metal pieces floating around. I still had a lot of pain and limited motion, so they went in and took out one of the pieces that broke off of the pins, left the other one in and removed some scar tissue. Within days, the pain was gone and I had full motion again. I wish my right shoulder was as good as my left now. I messed that one up when I fell off my bike a few months ago, but so far the shots have helped, so I'm not ready for more surgery.Hey Don same here with the recliner cant sleep in it. I am sleeping on the couch but after 2 or 3 hours my side gets sore and since I cant roll to the other side I get up. I detached 1 tendon on the rotator cuff and the doc said something about my bicep tendon being messed up and he detached that and relocated it. The messed up part is the rotator tendon was "only" 30% torn when I went in for surgery 8 months ago and they just cleaned it up and hoped it didnt rip anymore. So much for hoping.:cry:
