observe:
Since I usually sleep on my side, this past month of sleeping while carefully positioned flat on my back has been less than ideal for ... say... my back! But today I successfully napped on my side. I was out like a light! But, I slept too long and good that way because I was sore on that side for about an hour when I woke up. However, I think it was worth it. I was sleeping on my left side, which hasn't had surgery since the original 7/27. My right side, deeply traumatized til 8/11, is a total no sleep zone.
on that note, goodnight!
Yay for sleeping on your side!!!
ReplyDeletebest. milestone. ever.
ReplyDeletei remember being more grateful for this than i was for that first sip of water post-vent. no joke. my back was DONE.
do i even need to mention how super cute you look in this picture, or is that just pointing out the obvious? beth, you not only look like a rockstar, but you ARE a rockstar, in every sense of the word (except for, you know, the one that might imply that you sing rock songs in front of tons of people) ;)
Man, I totally agree. Sleeping on my left side was like, THE moment for me. I can't tell you how long I tried to arrange pillows that made it possible to sleep on my side with the chest tubes still in, but I remember the first time I REALLY slept on my side. Relief. I'm so happy for you CG. You look great. Once you're all better, I'm coming to Boston to meet you.
