I had open heart surgery weeks ago today. I’ve always slept on my side but have not done so yet. I don’t have an appointment with the surgeon and cardiologist for three more weeks. Do I still have to sleep on my back until then? I haven’t had much sternum discomfort. I’m just afraid I’d crack it if I got on my side too soon.

Also, I sleep in a recliner because if I lay down on my bed I immediately get a lower back ache. Have you had any similar comments from other readers?

Thanks.
