That's the sleep apnea surgery? They just cut out your uvula? Yiiiiikes.
My dad had this surgery in the late 90s. Hopefully it's better by now because, yeah, yikes is right.
I remember him spraying antiseptic in his mouth for a few weeks after it was over and almost screaming at the pain every time. It must have been a requirement because there's no way anyone would volunteer for that kind of pain.
The real kick in the teeth was that it didn't actually help either.. He still snored like crazy and the restless leg syndrome (although now I think it's called periodic limb movement disorder) was unchanged.
What is this euphemism treadmill for restless leg syndrome? Who could possibly be offended?? Lol
I'd imagine it's a reclassification of symptoms so that treatments can be better targeted.. Not because it hurts someone's feelings.. That's dumb.
