I actually live right down the street from Beltway off of Loch Raven so my wife and I go there quite often. Try "Cheap Red Wine" sometime, the wife isn't a fan but its cheap! Bouldering takes alot of guts! The most extreme bouldering I did was at the Southern Rim in the Grand Canyon. Dont get the wrong idea, im not a pro, some friends and I just thought it would be fun to say that we climbed parts of the canyon. Jason, I will have to check out that wine, I also love cheap wine.

This is the third day after a UUUP and tonsillectomy to cure severe sleep apnea. I have a very high pain threshold, but even taking the cocktail of drugs supplied by the hospital, life has been pretty unpleasant since the op. I had the operation on the National Health Service in the UK, as my private medical insurance company do not cover sleep apnea procedures. I was told that that the op would last around an hour, but mine lasted 3 and a half, due to the thickness and strength of my tongue and uvula. My tongue was damaged in the process. Too early to say whether the op has been successful, looks like it may be a while before I will know for sure. I'll come back later and let you know. I’ve read these posts with interest.

My problem is I only needed it shortened, but they cut it all off. Now I feel like I have walking pneumonia chronically due to the stuff that gets into my lungs. I'm constantly having to try to cough stuff up. I'd recommend only getting a uvula shortened versus fully removed if it's too long. I had a uvulaectomy.

I had way too many first time experiences in 14 hrs plus 5 drugs Ive never taken till then. FIRST MAKE SURE YOU GET ACURATE RECOVERY TIME!!!!! ENT said 3 days healing for nose and abt 10 days for throat! WTF??? My sleep Dr. said 8 weeks for healing. AND I didnt get any recovery info...had to google it! It was fricken horrible. Well, for me personally the proceedures (I had 4 done at once) sinus openening, septum alignment, removal of tissue in throat, and what I didnt know till few days later untill lookin in the mirror w/ flashlight, was that they cut off that dangly thing too WTF they didnt tell me they were going to do that !!!! Surgery itself was just over an hour so should of been outta there by 12:00pm but I awoke in PACU w major migraine & pain. All I remember was some mean-ass nurse giving me a hard time for being a smoker. There I was givin 2 different units of delauden (sp) and was in PACUfor 2 hrs. My tongue was all swollen & really hurt & asked her why & she said it was from the clamps on it and I was coughing during surgery so it pulled on it & yelled at me for smoking. I was scared in there & in a lot of pain so I assume thats why my heart-rate went up outta nowhere, & then she yelled at me to get my heart-rate down etc - I JUST wanted to get away from her! When I got into the recovery room around 3pm my migraine was still there so they gave me Percocet but didnt help. Didnt leave hosp till 4:oopm. Puked in the car right when I got in it, and couldnt stop throwing up when I got home - I couldn't pee and everytime I tried I threw up. I was puking bunch of blood which made me bleed thru my stitches, so was bleeding out my nose & throat. We called the surgeon & ended up going into the ER. I puked in the car again, & in the entry way of the ER. My migraine hurt soooo bad they gave me morophine, a steroid for migraine, ativan (cuz I was so scared to take morophine... haha Im such a wuss) and then its was like the pain floated awaaaaaaaaay :) Morophine wasn't so bad! Then cuz I still couldnt pee they did a catheter (never had one before) and she filled a whole liter and more! Apparently my bladder was FULL! Yikes! I wont even go into the removal of stuff in my nose, all I'lll say is I kicked the Dr. ANYWAY I took your important advice of staying on schedule for pain meds!!! Crap! That saved me cuz I HURT! I'm doing better but am frustrated that I cant swallow right & liquids go up my nose haha but Im really wondering why they didnt tell me they were removing my uvula ??? I wont be able to try CPAP till July, so we'll see. Well its a long story & gross and probably too much TMI .

The procedure was in office and fairly simple. The recovery was very painful for about 10 days. But it worked. My procedure was April 20th and now I'm about 98% recovered. I don't wake up coughing and gagging anymore and I sleep much better. Thankfully, my ENT told me that the aftermath would be painful, so i was ready for it. I used alot of Chloraseptic throat spray to help with the pain and hot coffee and tea felt WONDERFUL!! As for now, I breath easier and sleep better. Good luck. Vicky,
