Nancy James Those neck pillows really came in handy for me too - Once I was home I still had a hard time filling the gap between my neck and the recliner and I had my husband look all over for our airline pillows - what a difference that made it help so I wasn't straining my neck.....even in bed they were a real life saver - so for anyone who has one and has to have surgery bring one to the hospital - it really makes a difference.

Gerald Poulton Hey John, just remember to be cautious of the boogeyman😀, Atrial Fibrillation, dont overdo it or over stress as that can bring it on, some here have had it start from stressing for a bowl movement, some from coughing fits and mine was brought on twice from vomitting caused by duodenitis, I know you feel good but we are very vulnerable just after surgery. Your doing great 👍
