On my left side but at a 45 degree angle toward my back assisted by pillows. That's it, after a few hours I have to get up for a couple hours and then go back to bed for another three or four hours. If I manage to get into another position I wake up with nasty pain in my neck, shoulder or back. Sometimes it makes me puke.
