Ouch! This way and that way: Sleeping on my back for the first time

I am now two days out from the "torture table " biopsy. So far, this is the worst pain I have ever been in. It's a very specific pain. I could move my arm a little. I made the bed with one arm, then I tried to turn on the light, and "OUCH!" DO not lift the ARM UP!!!!

It does not like that right now. I am really tired because I haven't slept a full night. I keep waking up in the middle of the night. I want to turn over and sleep on my tummy. I have always slept this way. Or curled up on my left side like a baby. Can't do that either. But when you're asleep and with newfound pain...your body forgets. So I turned over in the middle of the night, and "OUCH!" Waking my husband to screams and moans is not fun...especially when he has to work at 6 am (and the screams and moans are not from pleasure...heehee)

I am sleeping on my back for the first time in all my life. It is so hard to do. I put a pillow under my arm and one under my legs...I never realized how hyper-extended your knees can get when you sleep on your back. I am trying to half-turn onto my left side. I wonder how long after my surgery I will be able to curl up onto my tummy and sleep. Right now, that is what I really miss.

Trying to take a nap at 11 am...g'night.

Love Peg
