Hi Tronny

i bought a big pillow that had arms in it. It was like a big hug. It propped me up and stopped me rolling over. I preferred to be raised rather than flat on my back . I had a mountain of other pillows too ! Under my arm , and after 8 weeks , I slept hugging one on my side  I will be honest, you just don’t sleep very well after the op, but you can nap when you need too. People told me I looked really well,after the op and  I agree, that I did, wishing you well !!

Hi Jabazzle

That pillow sounds lovely, I will look out for one. 

I'm half expecting poor sleeping patterns as I'm guessing the armpit incision will be very tender and sore.  I shall invest in some pillows, thank you.   

Hi Tronny,

Check first, as some hospitals provide cushions post-op.

Kind regards,

This the one I bought

Ooooh thank you. I looked at that and I just happen to be going there this afternoon
