Congrats Dave,

Its been a long road but it seems to be winding down for you. Mine starts at 7:30am tomorrow. How much weight have you lost? You said you're not dreaming as much but are you sleeping more than before? Is the physical change to your appearance noticeable to others? I know it is to you.

I saw the doctors on Friday to get some pre-op stuff out of the way and to test fit the splint they made. It fits perfectly, snaps right on the bottom teeth and fits snug inside the top ones. Even though the surgery is all inside the mouth, he said I have to shave the beard and mustache off so they can verify the symmetry and alignment. That ought to be scary, the mustache has never been off since Dec. 1968. I have the surgery on Thursday, come home Friday and we're celebrating one of the grandkid's birthday at our house on Saturday. Entire family is coming over. Guess I will lock the bedroom door and veg in the recliner in front of the TV. The grandkids won't know who I am anyway if the facial hair is gone.

Continued improvement and good sleep.
