Beds and Stairs

We are not aware of any restrictions concerning sleeping in your own bed or stairs. Check with the surgeon to be sure

thanks so much!

Hey. My house has 4 floors and a total of 54 stairs! I slept in my bed straight away and went between floors often, just not carrying anything. For me. It was a non issue. Good luck!

great to hear it. thanks so much!! I figure great exercise since I am to take it easy for a few weeks post op....

Slept in my own bed as soon as I got home from the hospital.

My bedroom was on a different floor from the kitchen/living room...and while I didn't go up and down often, I did at least twice a day. I tried to go up and down as little as possible but still go up and down. Most of my walking was up and down the hall AND to the bathroom.

I slept in my bed since day 1 at home.  I leaned against pillows to get me close to the position of stomach sleeping.  For stairs, I was told to go downstairs once and upstairs once for the first week, so plan accordingly.  I know of several who basically resided in a recliner for a week.

Stairs were no problem.  It took me 5 weeks to be comfortable in bed.  I slept in a recliner propped up with pillows.
