Senior Member Rambler Posted March 27, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted March 27, 2008 Go for it! Sleep will become your friend again :-) Your grafts are secure and as long as you are not bleeding ( aside from possibly a little from the staple holes ) from your donor scar you should be just fine.

Senior Member Dewayne Posted March 27, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted March 27, 2008 To be honest, I've slept pretty much normal every night since my surgery 7 days ago - except one where I didn't sleep at all b/c I didn't take my valium... But, I put on siran wrap and a surgeons cap and sleep on my side or back. I do still take the valium's because I get anxious about going to sleep if I don't. 100?

Senior Member Rambler Posted March 27, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted March 27, 2008 Dewayne, Saran wrap, what the? You mean like the hermetically sealed application or the loose indoor biosphere for organic gardens type? I've never heard of the saran wrap usage. You must have woke up in a sweat inside the wrap?

Senior Member Dewayne Posted March 27, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted March 27, 2008 Yep, I wear the kind that is used for food and a surgeons hat. My doc gave me some spray that has really seemed to help the healing. He told me today I could quit with the wrap, though. Maybe I did it a little too long.... 100?
