Welcome @kkckkjm. I'm tagging fellow members @cindyjk @vic83 @pat3017a and @stanleykent who also had robotic lung surgery to make sure they see your question about recovery and finding a comfortable position to sleep.

It's been a few days since you posted about your experience. Have things improved somewhat?

My surgery was 4 years ago and I have trouble remembering yesterday. 🙂
I recall sleeping on my other side and when I did sleep on my back having to roll to get up. I have a waterbed and a friend loaned me a mattress topper to use for awhile. The height was perfect, It was high so I just could flop right in. It will get better, but oh, it is not fun in the beginning! Best wishes!!
Hugs and healing,
Cindy

Hello, things have improved slightly. I was prescribed gabapentin yesterday and am hoping this will help with the spasms and discomfort.
