Tired

Yeah, I'm really quite tired. I've had half an hour's sleep.

See, last Wednesday was the culmination of nearly a year's worth of doctor's visits, specialist appointments, research and a lot of waiting around for something to happen. After my diagnosis of sleep apnea, and hiring an APAP machine for 6 months, I had a tonsillectomy and turbinoplasty.

The doctor said the after-effects of the tonsillectomy would be comparable to the worst tonsillitis I'd experienced.

Yeah, not so much. I think it's a lot worse. It does seem to be improving.

Side effect though, is I'm sleeping terribly. Which, right at this moment, feels bitterly ironic.

Anyway, not much I can do about it, other than just keep taking the medication, and the "pain-killers", and wait for everything to heal up. It does seem, however, that based on the numbers the APAP machine is reporting from the last few days of usage, it's made a world of difference - when I do actually get some sleep.
