Around 8pm on Wednesday I could no longer find a comfortable position. Seems like everything I tried was uncomfortable. I couldn't watch tv or read. I just kind of went into the zone until midnight. Sometimes it's best to not think about things.
Only two more nights of sleeping facedown. This gets more challenging each night. It's hard to keep the plastic eyepatch on and my cheekbones are sore from pressing my face into the support system. I had to try something different last night (a bolster for my forehead), but lost my eyepatch around 3 am. My husband found it for me and I retuned to the original support system and made it until about 5am.
I then got up because my arms were hurting. There's not many options for your arms when sleeping on your stomach. I moved to the sofa and put a pillow under my chest and used the armrest on the sofa to support my forehead. I then hung one arm off the side. I'd do this as long as I could stand it and then move my head to the other end of the sofa to give the other arm a rest.
I'm up now and have had a strong cup of tea. I feel much better and am looking forward to a shower after breakfast. I'll do the same as yesterday which is go as long as I can and when things start hurting, I'll take a lortab and sleep a few hours.
There is no pain from they eye, but no vision had returned yet. It's like looking through fog. I am seeing the top of the swimming pool water line which is encouraging.
I'm up for company but please call and be sure I'm not in the lortab sleep zone.
