Sleeping is getting somewhat better as I heal. I take a 50-mg Tramadol before bed, along with my regular Benadryl, and it enables me to sleep on my right side a little bit. My doctor didn't want to give me too strong a pain killer for bedtime, because he didn't want me to sleep on that shoulder so long that I damaged it. It helps, but I'm still not getting as much solid sleep as I'd like. I guess it'll come, too.
I really wish that I'd requested 10 weeks of disability instead of 8. My shoulder was pretty much healed and moving pretty well at 8 weeks, but the sleeping problems really made going back to work for a full day difficult at first.
