Was just gonna say the CPAP is the only thing that worked for my mom. She had the surgery, some other surgery, tried all kinds of over the counter fixes, etc. CPAP is the only thing that can keep her from snoring and sleeping safely. If this doesn't do it, take a look into them. Also I feel ya, not really, but I got neutered Tuesday of last week and my sh*t is still black and blue. I had to take care of our son Wednesday as the sitter called off with a sick kid, and I am sure you can imagine I did not heal as I should have with a 18mos old jumping on me and all kinds of stuff the day after surgery. Oh and the local wore off when he was burning the left side shut. That did not feel good, not even a little.
