Thanks once again, Denise. This forum has definitely been of tremendous help. So lucky I found it. Day 7 post-op and I had a good sleep last night. I still use my wedge pillow, which has been my...
Thanks, Denise and Gunner. Not too sure if I have good or bad news. Or both. At 3 days post-op, woke up in the middle of the night with a major heartburn. Felt like acid kept creeping up my...
