I had an electric bed.

They like you to sleep upright so they help loads. You can raise your head then raise your legs to get comfy. I looked like a frog on the first night! :8855:

 

[slimmerkay]

OMG (shakes her head in exasperation).

Kelly you are wild!

 

[cherry]

lol, i sleep like a frog every night, i have to sleep on my back, and cant lie flat, so im semi sat, i have loads of pillows with 3 cornered pillow on top. i dread to think what i look like, lol

 

[StephieAck]

Mine was great because the back would come up and the bottom bit would come up but it would sort of wrinkle under my knees so I could have support under my knees without having to have my legs fully up and being bent at the waist, it was blummin lovely.

I was luckily in a private hospital so had electric bed, en-suite, TV etc

Don't get too excited though, you won't be comfortable for at least a week. I spent most of my time in the chair leaning forward onto the trolley they rest the drinks on.

Don't want to put a downer on it but I wanted to give a reality check

I'm like you Dawn... but John (Glenville) recommended a brilliant pillow, been so much better...

I had an electric single bed in hospital for 3 days in June... it was SUPER... even though I'm such an awkward sleeper with my spine...

It made a difference to my stay... xxx

 

[simplylucy]

I had my own room too, it was HUGE!

The en-suite was massive too.

Did make me feel out of place when they started serving me a drink of tea on a posh tray with a paper liner, napkins, oh the tea was in a pot and milk in a little jug and a little china dish for the packets of sweetners!

Even my jelly and consomme got delivered like I was eating in a 5* hotel! :8855:

 

[Bev]

That sounds like heaven Lucy... so glad to see you doing so well.. love and hugs xxx

LOL I nearly did in mine, and the other ladies in the ward had to show me how to use the remote controls! :8855::8855::8855:

But immediately after surgery Kelly, they could've hung me on a hanger in a wardrobe and I wouldn't have cared!

 

[bubblyangie]

I was NHS but i still had an electric bed, it was great, head up a bit, then kness up a bit, I like the frog thing, I know what you mean, The way I sleep now is weird but so comfy I dont care, but I have x3 squidjy pillows layered up under my back / head, one pillow either side of me by wy waist....to put my arms on...a folded quilt under my legs and loads of quilts on top cos im always cold....... my hubby found it hard at first but he snuggles up to my pillows and puts his legs over my quilt too..... has anyone else found they sleep weird Post op or am i just a freak!! I blame the nhs, as Ive had x10wks in hosiptal post op and I adopted this since.....
