Puhonix Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 And when you have sleep apnea, your body is deprived of oxygen sometimes hundreds of times during the night. Kind of explains the Dolphins fandom. 379245[/snapback] I had apnea pretty bad, I was having near 100 sleep interruptions an hour, so over a full night's sleep, I was getting nowhere need the rest I needed. Hence the need for the surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 laughter is the best medicine, glad I got some love and laughs from you all. I'm home from the hospital, thanks for the best wishes. More upadtes coming when the morphine wears out. 380045[/snapback] They gave morphine to a Fish fan? Nothing like sending Brer Rabbit to the brier patch. Get well.

Puhonix Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Hope he is doing well. Do you know what procedure he had? I have sleep apnea and was looking over a few options. Thanks for any info. 379217[/snapback] Like I said, I was in bad shape, so I had a number of procedures done for my case. Tonsillitis (removal of tonsils, mine wear swollen), Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (uppp for short, basically the shaving off of tissue from the back of your throat and the uvula, septoplasty (straightened out my deviated setpum), and a turbinates reduction. I know it was a lot, a 2hour procedure, but I slept last nght and hardly snored. Again, pardon the typos.. I cant believe they actually gave me liquid morphine.

Terry Tate Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 laughter is the best medicine, glad I got some love and laughs from you all. I'm home from the hospital, thanks for the best wishes. More upadtes coming when the morphine wears out. Not too much laughter - I visited a friend in the hospital who had his appendix taken out, had him laughing so hard he was crying - from the pain. Good times. Get well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExWNYer Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 God speed! I had neck surgery in March for a herniated disc but I didn't get the "pleasure" of morphine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also remember being ticked off to no end that Mark Richt couldn't figure out how to beat a soft zone coverage that night. It was... sorry I thought I could talk about it...

Puhonix Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Update: Been progressing fine over the past few days, today being day #4. Well, the Dr. warned me that days 4 & 5 were going to be bad.. and they are. I dont want to talk at all, throat hurts like all hell, and I'm not at all for coughing and swallowing today. Im kicking up my pain meds, hopefully that'll help. I'll be around, I can still type (me thinks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
