OFF TOPIC - my turn to whine

He doesn't have one. Just found out the Shuffles aren't compatible with DD's Mac. DS is getting an iPod for the holidays.

Mommeeee, I hurt, I'm sore, why do you need to (fill in the blank)?

I will - any one else want to volunteer? I'll call! C

Just for the record, alprazolam (Xanax) now comes in an orally disintegrating form called Narivam.

enabler!!!

Really? Hmmm - didn't know. The Costco here has the Nano's and the new iPods. You can check the education store at Apple - I think they have some decent prices.

I'm so sorry - but right ow isn't it "honeeeeee - I need {fill in the blank) ?

You're too funny. Going out in a while - small regular shopping trip, then home to deal with stuff, then CAPS playing Stars tonight - woohoo - I'll be knitting.

Do you even have to ask?

I'll even volunteer to help you hide the body. :)

Is this a fancy way to say he had his tonsils out? :)

LOL Sorta.

He had his uvula removed (the little hanging bag in the throat), his tonsils removed, a good portion of his soft palate shaved off, and the back of his throat carved out and widened. Plus he had his broken nose straightened.

To stop snoring? Wives of snoring men everywhere wanna know if it was, did it work???

Caryn (who is tired of rolling her husband off his back during the night)

Yes and no.

He was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea, and part of his issue was that all that tissue was in the way of his breathing. He needed a CPAP machine and it wouldn't have worked if he had all that crap in the way.

I think it would have helped if he had not also gained 75 pounds. As it is, he's sleeping in a recliner because of his carpal tunnel (his arms/hands go numb and get very painful if he can't drop them over the side), and he snores less in his recliner than in the bed, but I don't really have a reliable control on him yet to know whether it worked or not.

Also, he still needs the CPAP machine but because he gets chronic sinus infections, it still doesn't work right--sooooo they're thinking about going back in to Roto-Rooter his sinuses and take out more of his throat.

Caryn, you really need to get your husband to get a sleep study. Sleep apnea does a real number on your ticker.

Being the snorer, *I* want to know!!

Is it over the counter? C

LOL! After last night, I'm so agreeing! Thanks goodness DH is in Winnepeg for the next 2 nights.

Heavens no.

Sara

No - we can get the Nano ok, it that DS's old iMac won't support the correct version of iTunes.

Oh no - he's called me Mommy a few times!\

I want to get that work turned around.... LOL

Nah - I figure I could get away with it!

Cheryl

LOL - DH keeps saying "I've never heard it - the snoring is alleged" . But, he's actually woken himself up. I'm thinking of getting him some special tempurpedic or homedic pillow that supposedly helps.

I'm guessing that Elizabeth's husband had a lot of sinus problems & breathing issues. Or got his face mushed.

ellice

No - but, hmmm, you could get some tylenol pm or some over the counter sleep aid and ad it in.
