Where to Find Comfort?

You would think that the pain medicine that I'm taking for my incision would take away ALL the pain. It doesn't. My whole back is just killing me. It's a combination of pain and numbness from sitting and laying on it for even short periods of time. I have found some very clever ways of sleeping. I sit on our computer chair next to the bed with a stack of pillows on the edge of the bed. I lean over and fall asleep so that my back doesn't have to lean against the bed. Last night I wondered the house trying to find a place to sleep. The bed just wasn't working and I couldn't take the pain anymore. I wound up sleeping on the living room couch, propping the pillows up behind me as to find some relief. I would kill to lay on my side in my own bed. One of these days soon, I pray, that my stomach muscles are strong enough to do this again.

Awww Sharon...

I'm so sorry that you're having such trouble sleeping. I know how miserable just having one night of poor sleep is. I truly feel for you having to go through this night after night. Find comfort anyway and anywhere you can. Your body needs that sleep to rejuvinate and heal.

Sending prayers for comfort...
