Guest guest Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Hi Halley, Previous to surgery I asked my OS how long I would need to sleep inclined. My hubby and I were a little concerned, I wanted to sleep in bed with him! My OS said 5 days inclined, which I thought was short. I did a little more, i think 9 days inclinned on the couch. But I'm back in bed now (with 2 pillows instead of my normal one). I do notice that I'm a little more swollen in the morning as well, but it does seem to go down. I would 'check with your OS' of course, but I think you are fine.
