    Morning Kevin,

    Two hours since you posted on here so hope you have mnanaged to go back to bed for a catch up sleep. I was up at 5am which is usual for me but I do go to bed every afternoon for an hour. Not that I'm uncomfortable in bd anymore. 7 weeks in and can sleep well on both sides now thank goodness, what a nightmare the first few weeks having to stay on my back. We all get through it though I did seem to have about 18 pillows around me at one time!

    I suppose the trick is to allow yourself to simply go to bed or put your feet up when you get the sudden need to. I sometimes feel a bit overwhelmed by the sudden loss of energy but Consultant said last week that is normal and it will pass but could take up to 12 months before everything feels right.

    Take care

    Jane

    Hello Kevin usually awake in the wee small hours but day 23 and only woke once and straight back to sleep so hope I have turned a corner. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Still a bit tender but improving daily

    It will get better

      I'm in New Jersey on the East Coast, small town called Sea Bright right on the ocean. Great little town with a beautiful beach to walk on. I'll be heading out for a nice walk zoo . The sun is finally out after some rainy days so I'm going to take advantage of a,beautiful day.
