I slept on my side

For most of you that's no big deal.. but for me it IS .. I'm a slide sleeper but since the surgery I've been sleeping on my back. I slept but not sound. Last night I tried my side. With the help of a pillow I was able to sleep the entire night. Didn't even hear my husband get up this morning and leave.

Well on the road to mending, UNTIL I got up and went potty .. I think I either have the start of a bladder infection or a UTI .. thankfully I had 100 % cranberry juice so all day long I've been sipping on a glass and I do feel better. BUT what that does is couse my sugar to go up, and that causes other problems. Boy will I be glad when I can say I'm healed.

I can't complain as it's been less than a month and I'm moving around so well with less pain.

Just a hint for you.
When I get a bladder infection, I find that cranberry juice makes it worse.
I find that a few 8oz. glasses of plain water work best for me, especially if I take it when I first feel the infection coming on.
The first glass makes it better and the rest, spread out over a couple of hours, make it go away completely.
