if you need to sleep on side put a pillow under the top arm to keep it from pulling hug the pillow

Thumbs up Or try a recliner......
You may want to sleep in an upright position - I know I did, but I had my lungs biopsied @ the same time, so I was in a world of hurt for a while. I cheated b/c I was so stupid! I was driving 3 weeks after it and lifting stuff, which probably attributed to my chest pain to this day. Granted, it is NOTHING compared to my original pain, but I was so stupid and thought I could do it all! LOL

Sleeping upright really helps alleviate the pain - that and the pillow that everyone recommends! You will fall in love with it - be forewarned!

You are going to feel GREAt after a while! Trust me on this one!

Big hugs!
Erin
