11/20/12- welcome to the flat side

I purchased the same bed and it was worth it. I'm 9 days PO and still using it. I tried to use pillows the other night and had to go back to the bed. The only thing I don't like is that it isn't very wide so I have to put pillows at my sides so that my arms rest comfortably. Since you could use it camping or for sleepovers afterward, it was a no brainier for me. I also like being able to sleep in bed with the hubby. Many people do fine with just pillows, though.

Ugh! I would love to go outside for a walk. I'm still pretty hunched so after so long I have to stop and lean against something to take the weight off my back. The best I've been able to manage are laps around the house where I have some support nearby. Are you straightened out already?! Tomorrow I will be home alone for the first time. I'm not too worried about it though. I've been pretty self reliant the last couple of days to prepare myself. I would take the swell for another month if I could wake up tomorrow and be even 90% straight.

5 days PO and have the same problem. I attributed it to my CG since it was crotchless and provided no pressure there. Boy, can you say camel toe!!

It took me four days and the stool softened weren't working for me either so I decided to take two womens laxatives and had a tiny one that day and diarrhea the next. I'll take the diarrhea every time. Good luck girl! Being off the pain meds did help too.

You look great too! You look like you're standing so straight. I'm still pretty hunched. I do this funny Steve Urkel type walk with my knees out in an almost squat position to help keep the pressure off my back so much. It's helped. Keep up the good work!
