Ryan's surgery

Ryan was diagnosed with sleep apnea a few months back and was sent home with a c-pap machine. He was referred to an ENT doctor to follow up and see if there were any steps Ryan could take to reduce the effects of sleep apnea. The doctor noticed that Ryan had a severly deviated septum and a swollen uvula. He decided that the best route would be to have surgery to fix the septum and completely remove the uvula. He was very nervous about the surgery since he has been lucky enough to not have needed any surgery prior to this. He went in for the surgery a few days ago and everything went well. The doctor said the inside of his nose looks great and the back of his throat looks like the Grand Canyon. Unfortunately, it doesn't feel that way to Ryan. His nose feels all stuffed but the throat is the worst part. He is on a liquid diet for a while until that heals. He is OK to talk for short spurts but it becomes quite painful. He is still experiencing bleeding every now and again but it is starting to heal. He is now doing his best to enjoy some time off from work and watch plenty of sports and movies.
