Tonsil-fucking-lectomy at 39 !!

OK, many of you would have heard (and select few unfortunately know first hand) that I snore like a fucking freight train.

I suffer from this fucked up thing called "Obstructive Sleep Apnoea".

It means I stop breathing when I sleep (when I was put into hospital for a "sleep study", I stopped breathing 190 times in 6 hours, the longest for 45 seconds).

Any who are aware of this condition know it is fucked up, and not a great thing for one's health.

You get headaches and shit as well, wake up even more tired than when you went to bed and when it gets as bad as it is with me, you have narcopleptic tendencies (as many have witnessed personally or seen the photos at least).

So my Doctor sends me along to the ENT Specialist, ostensibly for a nose job to clear the airways fucked by many a broken snozzle, and instead I now find I am booked in for the 3rd July to get my "way oversized" tonsils ripped out.

The nose is still getting done, but a bit later on, as Doc decided the tonsils are the root of that is evil and must go first.

Apparently my earlier life throat problems ([url=http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=604772]See My AMbush Interview by Clicking Here for details) have caused my tonsils to grow abnormally, thereby reaching TWICE their normal size and reducing the status quo size of my airway by 50%.

I have had tonsillitus problems here and there, the last time being after Phoenix Forum, and it is a nightmare because my breathing so restricted - obviously when the tonsils swell, my already 50% too small airway is even more restricted.

So tonsil-fucking-lectomy here I come.

The Doc said it is a real shit surgery for an adult, with the highest possibloy of going back to the table for re-bleeds and shit like that, but mainly because it is painful as all fuck for days afterwards.

He did promise me that I would lose 2 pounds per day minimum for at least a week, so on top of my big drop from Phoenix to Webmaster Access, this has got to be a good thing, and the Doc also reckons that if I put my mind to it, I could give up smoking, because I will be physically unable to smolke for 405 days at least (it will hurt WAYYYY too much).

CuriousToyBoy give up the smokes ?

Ha ha ha ah ah aha ha ha ha aha ha ha

I'd like to see that.
