Hi Jacs,

You’ve received helpful advice on a wedge pillow. I have an electric bed, so that helps to incline, but even with that I slept in the recliner for several months after one surgery. Other times I brushed my mouth (follow dr suggestions), and had extra cups, towel, bedside for mucus, so I wouldn’t have to get up at night.

When I was is the hospital after my first treatment, I had much mucus, which was taken out by a suction machine, I forget the name now, but I have heard of others with Home models.

Good luck
