I usually sleep on my side with an arm under my pillow and my head on it but that arm now becomes numb and begins to hurt. Switching to the other side does the same thing.

Had to learn to sleep on my back many years ago after diverticulitis surgery left me with an ileostomy bag. That lasted six months until the doctors reversed it. Funny thing is I have slept on my back since then up until a couple of years ago. Now I find my self wanting to sleep on my right side, but of I do, my arm goes numb and I wake up. I do and try lay on my back but, just can't get comfortable. Wont lay on my left side feels like to much pressure on the heart.

Sometimes I wonder if it's not the pillows.

Have tried different pillows, just doesn't seem to make a difference.

I can only sleep on my left side or have great chance of waking up with acid reflux.

Have you tried an adjustable bed and/or acid reflux meds?

You’re sure to take a pee before leaving the house. Or restaurant.

1.44MB floppy? Newb.

Commodore 64 with the 5-1/4" floppy and flight sim. Now that was something to behold.

Oh yes, Commodore 64. I even got the Commodore 128, thinking how much better the programs would be. Sadly, hardly anything was made to take advantage of it because the C-64 was so popular.

5.25" floppy? Get off my lawn! My first computer had 8" Shugart floppies (SSSD) that only held 241K.....
