There was no pain before, during or after the operation. However, they did put me to sleep. I awoke to find all was over except for the swelling and inability to breathe through my nose. Only then did I realize that I could not eat and breathe or talk and breathe through my mouth at the same time. Believe me, when Porky can't eat or talk and breathe, there is a serious problem.

However, it did give me time to read my favorite publication: National Driller.

Some two weeks later, I still have some swelling and restricted breathing. Every day it gets easier to breathe through my nose.

However if nothing else, I have been advised that I no longer snore (sleep) loudly. I also have been told that in the near future I should have more energy due to a restful sleep at night.

For those people who sleep loudly, I would suggest that you be tested for a restricted airflow through your nose. If you have that problem, get it fixed. It may stop your snoring. Bess says I can move back into the house to sleep at night now.
