Glad to hear your not so cranky. Ask the doc on the faint spells but I know what you mean. I felt that way too for about the first week or so. Try not walking quite so far. Do a shorter distance but make a few extra trips. As far as the sleeping goes, I was miserably uncomfortable! Try to get some extra pillows and prop up your arms when on your back. I don't know why but it made me more comfy and able to sleep. Also, try propping a pillow under your tummy and one behind your back when your on your side. That was the best position for me after about 2 weeks but I had the open procedure so it took a little longer to be comfortable on my side. I know you're feeling pretty sore and uncomfortable and just out of sorts but this will pass. A lot of folks on here also slept in recliners. I couldn't do it no matter how hard I tried so that may be another option for you. Let me know if any of this works for you. You'll feel a little bit better each day.
