Yes, @kamada - the waiting for everything is the 'worst'! And clutching the pillow to your chest as you are driven home is great advice, as a shock absorber! Also, being VERY aware of any 'rough roads' when you ARE allowed to drive again - I used to clutch my boob in known 'pot hole areas' to minimise pain from bouncing for some 4 weeks after surgery.
Using a small pillow to elevate the 'affected arm' (if you sleep on your side) can also assist in getting to sleep, as sleeping on your tummy is usually restricted for some time post op!
