Member Since: June 2005 Posts: 8,791 Send Message	For those who may be interested. :-\ I had an appointment with the specialist this morning, 4 1/2 months after the op. He's more than pleased with my progress. Yay! He wrote a letter for the physiotherapist. Hmmmm Doc is concerned about my sleeping position. I know the best position to sleep in until I'm fully healed, but my body doesn't always want to co-operate. I have always slept on my left side, left leg straight & right knee bent.... which isn't good if you've had surgery on your right hip area. I go to sleep in the "best for my leg" position, then wake up in the wrong position. I've tried going to sleep with a pillow or a cushion between my knees (as the doc recommended), but I wake up with the pillow on the floor. Doc wants the physio to work with me to get a better sleeping position......... how is he going to do that? :-S I see the physio this afternoon............. this will be interesting .. NOT! :-D

	Maybe the physiotherapist is going to have to sleep with you to solve the problem. Male or female physiotherapist?

Member Since: June 2005 Posts: 8,791 Send Message	post Physio :-( I gave him the doc's letter, and we discussed it........ but somehow or other, any ideas for dealing with my sleeping position got lost.......... Margaret ~ I don't think the young male physio would even suggest it as a joke.... my DH would weigh at least 30kg more than him......... not sure who (the physio) would be more scared of, me (the cougar) or my large DH. I had one big workout today........ then 10 minutes on a pilates machine, followed by 6 minutes on an exercise bike. That doesn't sound like much, but I haven't been able to do anything at all for so long (years!), that I felt like I had ran a half marathon! Than I had to go to the supermarket........ which was another workout! What's for dinner darling? :-D

Member Since: June 2005 Posts: 8,791 Send Message	arrrrrrgh. I'm all baggy-eyes today. I didn't sleep well, probably because I kept thinking about NOT getting into the wrong position..... I must have woken up every 20 minutes! And....... after that serious workout yesterday afternoon, I am aching! The physio bent me into a pretzel. It's going to be a long road, getting fit again. Doc also said I shouldn't go back to pilates for at least three months! waaaaah!

Member Since: June 2005 Posts: 8,791 Send Message	Sylvia........ I usually stay in the same position all night! I'm not a restless sleeper, there isn't a wrinkle on the sheet or pillows when I get up. My DH is another story....... pillows out of the cases, sheets tangled up... he can even pull a fitted sheet off the mattress! He has been banned to the spare bedroom until my leg recovers :-D
