I'm pretty sore right now, and only able to sleep in our recliner. Going to give the couch a try in a couple days, just afraid I won't be able to get off of it right now, with out a lot of pain or hurting something. No bed, as we have a waterbed and I'm really scared I won't get out of it. Doc said I can walk, stairs (limited amount), eat anything, no lifting over 5lbs. I haven't really eaten anything other than soup, eggs and toast. Not in the mood I guess. Tomorrow I'm going to do some sewing, keep myself occupied. For now, I'm back to the chair for a nap. Nite ladies!!!!
When I had mine I rolled in the bed how I wanted to lay. No turning over in the bed for awhile. Couldn't drive for a week but only missed 12 or 14 days. Started back in slowly on night shift. Worked in a group home with adults with profound mental handicaps.
Oh by the way if you move heavy furniture or have to wear a lifting belt it will hurt. The clip still gets sore sometimes.
