This new years eve, Amy and I spent a quiet evening at home. I had the crazy idea to have my uvula removed earlier that day and I am now 5 days in to the worst sore throat of my life. It could take a few weeks or even months to find out if it was worth it or not but the goal is to cure my sleep apnea. Right now the back of my throat looks like blue cheese.
One positive side effect of the surgery is that I should lose about 10 pounds since I am only able to drink liquids and eat soft foods. So hopefully that will help kick-start my new year diet.
And thank you to everyone who has been bringing meals (and shakes) for me and the fam.
