andfornever said: My neighbor bought a hospital bed to keep in their house

I really might do that if there's ever a next time. I wanted to rent one, but they didn't seem to think it was necessary. I think, for me, for another kind of joint surgery maybe not, but spinal surgery feels like something it's reallyyyy necessary for.

Thank you <3 <3 <3

shygaladriel said:❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

thank you lovely <3 :)

vesperfairchild said: It seems strange they wont allow you to have even a partial adjustable bed for a bit.

RIGHT. I guess just because they don't consider my surgery a super minor one because ACDF is definitely a big surgery, but my neurosurgeon that dominates that ward does a lot bigger ones, so I think they partially just aren't so worried about me as a high priority patient. '

schway-va-jayjay said: LOTS of pillows. If you can get a body pillow, fold it in half. Or get one of those pillow ‘chairs’ that yo can prop in bed, the one that has a top and arms? I suck at describing things. But they work sO well.

I've got a few, but bleh. My friend who had spinal surgery last summer is coming to bring me a chair (i think?) that helped her, so hopefully that'll help during the day at least!

thefragileporcelaindoll said: Air hugs. Sending healing energy your way

thank you very much :) 

creepykeyla said: You can buy special wedge pillows that keep you elevated without being super uncomfortable. My dad had to use one when he had major spinal surgery because his neck would swell like crazy if he slept lying flat.

YESS, mine's swelling when i'm flat, but at the same time i get so stiff in one position i have to keep switching from various ways of flat, gah.

hinakoumori said: Oh honey, I wish I could help you out. I’ve been throwing up and bedridden all day myself and have even LESS of an idea how to make you feel better, but I figured I’d send you good wishes!

  thank youu <3 I hope you feel better soon if you aren't already! that sounds awful :( :(

  @blaurascon said: Do you have pillows or blankets or anything you can use to prop yourself up while you sleep? Might help a little. Hope you feel better soon!

I do, they're helping a little but not too much. because i keep getting stiff when i can't totally control the angle. i managed to sleep without too much ice or heat last night though, so thats good.
