Tummy Sleeper

[scubadot]

Hi Guys,

An odd question.... do you feel the port if you sleep on your tummy? Call me weird... but, I can't sleep on my back or side... I do best on my tummy. I realize right after the surgery that might be uncomfortable... but, after healed... any problems?

Thanks,

Dottie

I can sleep on any side just fine, aside from the usual problems caused by poor pillows. How far out from surgery are you? It took several weeks before I felt comfortable like that again.

It took me about 2 days to be able to sleep on my tummy, and it was quite by accident. I tried to sleep on my back, but ended up on my tummy when I woke up. I took a pain pill (toradol) every night before bed for the first week to ensure no discomfort.

That trip to the pharmacy across from the Lucerne paid off!
