Zenrat's Flying Circus

[kerick]

I've been a side sleeper for 40 years but after the surgery they told me to sleep on my back, legs on a big pillow with this big wedge of foam between my legs to keep them spread apart. I got no sleep at all. What torture!  I was overjoyed when the doc told me I didn't need to do that anymore!

No, the issue is what they did to my back, neck, sides, and shoulders when they opened me up.  They are all sore, cartilage has been wrenched and joints were pulled into positions they didn't like and then held there.  If I move too quickly or adopt a position i shouldn't then it hurts.

Too true, they hacked a 1.5 ft long hole in my back to shove a TV camera inside my right lung when I got pneumonia back in 2012.

And now the lung is working just fine, apparently while lacking some 15% of it's max. capacity, but the scar from that hole in my back STILL gives me gip on occasion.
