Thumbs up Day Two post op of full implant.

Well I woke up once again so it's another wonderful day in the neighborhood

So this morning when I woke up I was writhing in pain. I slept in our bed last night on my right side seeing my scs device was installed on my left side of my tummy. I'm pretty sure I never moved because my right hip hurt so bad from the ball area of my hip all the way to my toes when I put weight on it. I am going to assume that I was in that position for about 10 hours. This same thing happened when I had my trial in I had slept on my left for about the same time. Anyway I was wondering how many of you have were able to sleep flat on your back after you had your implant installed? I have made up my mind either way that tonight I'm going to sleep on my back with the stim turned up. In the morning I will see what the outcome of this will be. Through this whole process I have learned so far that it's all a learning process for each individual and what worked for you may not do so for others.
With that being said I can however say that I have gotten some great ideas from all of you and tailored them to work for me.
Today I can say that my incision site for the scs device in my left abdomen feels much better. It has become easier for me to get up and down in the recliner with out that site feeling so irritated. It has also become easier for me to cough concerning that same site .
