Every morning, I'd wake up more tired than before I went to bed. BACK THEN, I had Sleep Apnea and didn't know it. I'd wake up from a Noise (I made, but didn't know it) and wonder "What was that"? The wife said I was snoring and stopped breathing. Then, I'd catch my breath, snort or try to suck air in me, and go back to sleep. I had a surgery "UPPP" where they cut out my tonsils, the soft palate in the back of my throat and my UVULA (I screwed up and told a Nurse I didn't have a Vulva after my surgery She looks at me and says "Were you born a Woman? If not, you shouldn't have THAT". I opened my mouth and showed her what I meant.) She said "You mean UVULA." I said "Hell, I was close"" and we both laughed. And now, I can't even make the "Snorting Sound" a pig makes. So now, I tell all Dr.s and nurses about it, if I get it mixed up again, I'm not being dirty minded, just forgetful.
And the sleepiness after food? My God, Anytime and Everytime I eat, I get sleepy. It can be any food. I can drink strong coffee and go lay down and go to sleep and not be awakened by noises. I can take a Percocete and be wired and do almost anything I want to (when others get HIGH off of them, but for me it's the opposite). but all other foods make me sleepy. Don't know if it's age or my Med. Problems? Eat breakfast, get sleepy. Eat lunch, same thing, Eat supper (around 9:00 p.m.) I smoke a cigarette or 2 and go to bed. I'm so tired of being "Sick And Tired" from lack of sleep and then to eat and nap for 1 hour, that's not normal. Is It?
