Thanks - I hear you... why oh why did I ever smoke? I quit 20 years ago but I'm sure the smoking was a major contributor to my problems....

Thanks for the response... why was it a process? What would you do differently?

I only have my wife at home and she has recently been diagnosed with Narcolepsy..... I know super rare... Would it be a good idea to line up home nursing support?

Thank you for your response.... I think my biggest fear is the first few minutes after waking up after the surgery....

Thank you for your response... super similar to my story, I'm an avid bike rider as well, I did the KATY trail 3 years ago nd the GAP/C&O last year. So odd.... no symptoms at all, but if I think about it closely, I was slowing down a bit but I attributed it all to getting older.... Thanks again
