I found layin on my back for 6 weeks the hardest part, but I had 23 staples and they were so sore, the physio told me to put a pillow each side of me and one under my knees. That did help a lot. If you try to turn over, I soon stopped and woke up, it was too painful.
I am sooo glad you are making progress, lay back and enjoy it, and let them run around after you. Have a nice weekend, regards, Mrs Bouquet
