Day 7

I woke up today with some extra tightness and a headache.  I can’t wait till I can sleep in my bed again…I have been sleeping in a recliner still.  You should sleep in a recliner the first 5 days so the swelling will be less.  I have decided to stay in the recliner because I don’t want to roll over when I sleep in a bed and touch the grafts as you can’t touch them yet until at least day 14.  It is uncomfortable to sleep in a recliner and I tried laying down a little on my bed but also felt uncomfortable.  Grafts/scar looks good.  Getting my sutures out on Dec 19^th at Dr. Rahal’s clinic.
