How to Sleep Post Liver Transplant in Initial 30-Day Recovery?

Good morning
I'm a liver transplant patient, just celebrated my 4th transversary. I remember those days and nights. I like you was discharged after 5 days, and went for blood work every 3 days. I couldn't sleep either. Part of it was the comfort issue. I couldn't find a comfortable position. I have one of those reading pillows so I turned it upside down and used that. It seemed to help. I also thought of that time as similar to when my children were newborns and slept when I could. Sleep during the day, afternoon, evening. Just grab 40 winks when you can. And I know it's difficult but eat. Eat lots of protein it helped me. And it does get better, believe me. It's just it's in God's time not yours.🙂🇨🇦🍁🥰

Hi, Thank you for responding and sharing your experience! I have a reading bed pillow as well and have used that before, but it hasn’t been working for me lately. I haven’t tried turning it upside down though. I absolutely love how you included your experience with getting less sleep/sleeping when you could when you had your newborns. For me, that really highlighted how every season of life will look different. We don’t know what each season will entail. However, God is faithful to see me through; This was my reminder of something I continually meditate on from Matthew 6:34- taking it one day at a time. “It does get better… It’s just in God’s timing, not yours.” Absolutely! Thank you again!
