Do yourself a favor and spring for the single malt next time. It's worth it.

Hey Bro!

I haven't been around much lately. Are you not drinking for a reason? I hope it's not a medical reason!

Heh. Just a cold....nothing serious; but I sleep worse with booze AND a cold.

Hope all is well in your world.

Thanks for the kind words.

Everything's okay out here but I did a sleep study for my snoring last night at UCLA. Probably the most uncomfortable sleep of my life. Probably 75 wires hanging off my body. And I'm sure some type of surgery is to follow.

An hourly shot of whiskey always helps to clear my lungs when I have a cold. Have any VO handy?

I hope you feel better soon.

Sleep study...eh. Let me know how things turn-out. I've "been there" and "done that." Maybe I'd have some insights.

Don't know if you caught this thread....

Don't know if you are in the same boat or not, but I'm really a "new man" in many ways.

I'll check it now, thanks!

Before the sleep study, my doctor said that I have enlarged tonsils (that should have been removed when I was a child) and a huge amount of tissue in my throat. The tonsils and the tissue are causing the snoring and vibration and need to be removed. But first, I had to do a sleep study, not only to pinpoint the cause, but for insurance and sleep apnea.

Prior to my first appointment with this doctor, I didn't know that I could die from sleep apnea. That's freaky, especially since most people with SA don't even know they have it.

Thanks for the link. I'm sure it'll be helpful in dealing with my issues.

GoHuge39 (he's a PA, IIRC) had some good advice; he seemed open to PMs too on the subject when I was going through it....things have gone so well with me, in all honesty....I've had no need to follow-up with him. Seemed like a good guy with some real insights though. I haven't lost as much weight as I had hoped but otherwise, I've been a new man since the surgery (sounds very similar to what you are facing.)

The one caveat I'd add...is the 2-3 weeks after the surgery, are really brutal. More than you expect even after being told that. If you are ready though, you'll be fine if you have a good doctor. Best wishes.

Thanks, man. I've got a UCLA head and neck specialist who's in private practice that's supposedly one of the best on the West Coast. I'll keep everyone updated with my results (painful or not).

Now go have a shot of whiskey for that cold!
