re the recliner...think everyone is unique. I never needed anything but my firm mattress, but I was off pain meds the day before I left the hospital, although I still could have a little depending on position, but had no problem with finding the right postions when sleeping in my own bed....Barry on the mtn in NM

Good night, Christy!!!!! Love u, Mama

Hi Christy, So good to see u today!!!!! Bob's comment is so-o-o- funny!!!! Tell Matt I think the kitties r looking for him!!!! GMA is going to take a nap! Have a good afternoon!!!!

Hi Christy,
I thought you were having procedure for your heart, but I read you have been "FIXED!"
Have a great day.
Uncle Bob

Hi Christy!

Dennis shaved your legs. He IS the husband of the year!!

I never slept in a recliner. The first 2 nights out of the hospital I was in a hotel and then home. I took the pillow route. It took some experimenting to get the pillows in the right positions. I needed to be propped up - some people used a pillow wedge for that (unfortunately, that suggestion came too late for me!)

I started sleeping on my left side fairly quickly (maybe a week or so after I left the hospital) - again with pillow support. Sleeping on my right side came much later. In time I started to give up pillows one at a time and I probably gave up all pillow support after 4 or 5 months.

It's an adventure!!
Ricki

good talking to u!!!!! Hope to see u in AM!!!!! Love, Mama

I am a future heart surgery patient.

Hi Christy!

So happy to hear your surgery went so well. When I had my surgery last year the only pain I had was back and shoulder pain. I hadn't expected that. I have since learned that it's caused by the position they put you in on the operating table. It lasts a while (I had it about a month but it did ease during that month). If they offer massages at your hospital, take advantage. (I didn't and it was my biggest regret.) Also, talk to your doctors and nurses about how to deal with it. I suffered through it mainly using Advil and Tylenol and I think there are better solutions.

I hope you get out of ICU today. Walk as much as you can and use that spirometer (it really makes a difference!)

Ricki Shine

We are all so thankful to hear how well Christy is doing! Big hugs from all of us.... We will continue to pray for her recovery
. Love to all. Carol, Mike & family, Linda & Bill Thompson.

So glad that all is going well! You have been in our thoughts and prayers! Love, The Boullon's

So glad to hear that you're doing so well :) You're in our thoughts and prayers!! Get well soon!!

~Jessi && Chris

Christy, I am so glad that your surgery went so well! Wishes for a successful recover .Shaun Eller

Hi Christy. Wendy and I visited you in ICU at 5:00 this afternoon - you are so incredible! You look great after going through such hardcore surgery. Your nurse Tammy was helping you find a comfortable position since your back was hurting so bad. You were actually sitting up for a short while when Tammy put the bed into a reclining chair position! I was amazed!! I am happy that the surgery is over and that you did so well. Now let the healing begin - if today is any indication of your determination to get well then you will be back on your feet in no time. Shirley is available to help you walk whenever you are ready (and the doctor agrees) to get moving. We love you and are sending wishes for a speedy recovery. We will visit you soon. Love - Barbara

Christy,
So thankful to hear our prayers were answered and all went well.
You will continue to be in my prayers as you recover. Your Mother is very dear to me.
Blessings!
Jane Gaston
