Tales from the NOSE


Finally met with my ENT specialist this afternoon...

We went over my Sleep Study results... 13.5 events... which apparently is low in regards to sleep apnea (40+ events is a cause for REAL concern)...

My options are:
  1. Do nothing
  2. Have minor surgery to fix my septum (60-70% blockage on my right side)
  3. Have the surgery above and/or have some small implants in my soft palate
  4. Wear a CPAP for the rest of my life...

Although surgery always has its risks, it appears to be better than either the CPAP or do nothing (which my wife tells me may be grounds for DIVORCE)...

So, if anyone out there has experience with any of this, please add a comment...

I'd love to hear from you...
