    Hi Zoe, when I went on Monday & had my strapping off (day 9) nurse told me I could start lifting my arms above my head, she said do it slowly & take time, but I still haven’t done it yet, not been brave enough. I can lift them that high & maybe I’ll try putting a loose t shirt on tomorrow X

    Nurse says we have to sleep slightly upright for 6 weeks, she told me I’ve been sleeping far to high but in comfy that way so don’t mind X

    Hi
    No I don’t think I’d b brave enough yet I’ve lifted my arms to my hair but didn’t like it. Oh really how are u meant to sleep them? I still hardly sleep and then I slide down the bed even tho I put the pillow under legs ????????????????x

    I’m sleeping far to high but I’m comfy so I’m staying like that, but when you go for your strapping off tomorrow & you lie down on the bed to have your dressings change, nurse told me that lying in bed at night should be a little lower than what the bed is your having your dressings change on.
    Which is pretty low really. I can’t lie that low tho I’m scared I’ll try to turn over so I’d rather sleep a little more up right, but yer I always find I’ve slid down when I wake up haha, you can’t help sliding down so I wouldn’t worry to much X
