Sleep.
It can be a struggle with this scar on the back of my head. Sometimes, something touches a certain part of the scar and my head hurts in a special, angry nerve kind of way.
I have spent many hours configuring pillows trying to get good sleep. Every morning my neck began to hurt worse and worse. So last night I went shopping.
Got this memory foam, contoured pillow by Dream Serene. I love it so far. I woke up fairly limber and I slept through the night. No adjusting. Just sleeping.
I am still looking for pillows that support well so I can sit up more comfortably. I will review those when I have a chance. Maybe Dream Serene has a bolster. Gonna look tonight.
Everyone has to find what works for them. I am not a doctor nor a sales person. Just a consumer letting you know what helps me.
I wouldn’t recommend buying too much before surgery because you never know what specific thing you might need for your recovery. Everyone is different. I wish I had known that I needed to buy stock in Sonic ice and ginger ale.
I am still in bed for at least 18 hours a day. You might be too if you heal slowly or have a complication. Try to be comfortable within reason.
Pillows can be expensive, so make sure to find a sale or a coupon. Or, if people are asking what you need, TELL THEM. They are asking to help. Give them your coupon.
Rest well.
