Sorry I live no where near SF but wish I did. I love the weather there. I live in the midwest with the cows and horses. It's the thought that counts. Since my jaws will be wired shut for 8-10 weeks what the heck am I going to eat? The Doctor said that I would be using a syringe to squirt liquids behind my teeth. I guess this will be a good time to drop the extra weight that I have put on since I have had sleep apnea. I used to be able to exercise to keep off the weight, but now I am to tired to try. Hopefully that will change. My wife is worried that I will be running circles around her.

One of the questions that keeps popping in my mind is... Will I get dizzy at first from all the extra oxygen, like when you hyperventilate?
