Calm before the storm

Two days away from surgery and I am suprisingly calm. I guess that I know I have done EVERYTHING I can to prepare for this - whatever happens now is out of my hands. Not trying to sound fatalistic, just realistic.

I have gotten some terrific advice and encouragement from my friends on the nonCPAP forum on sleepnet.com. If you are considering this surgery and haven't yet discovered the wealth of practical information and encouragement from folks that have been there/done then you must go to that website! This is information that the medical community can't provide because it comes directly from folks that have had their MMA or UPPP or a host of other procedures for sleep apnea. Sandman does a wonderful job of hosting that website.

I am off to my regular dentist this morning for routine cleaning before surgery. Figured it was a good idea to start the surgery as squeaky clean as possible.

A special thank you to Toni, Bill, and Brandy - my forum friends - for taking the time to make sure I have thought of everything and have been adequately encouraged. They are great!
