Humana declined to cover the surgery until all reasonable, non-surgical options are exhausted. That means learning to live with SPID1 and a CPAP2 machine. I'm willing to try; I wasn't happy about going under the knife. I did that several times when I was 20, but then I had to: it was that or lose my left arm. I can live with large tonsils if there are other answers.

I'm going to go see a pulmunologist who specializes in sleep disorders and see what he has to say. The appointment is already made.

1 Sensory Processing and Integration Disorder, on which I'm a frequent flier.

2 Constant Positive Air Pressure. The user wears a mask through which gently pressurized air is blown to keep the structures at the back of the throat open to relieve sleep apnea. The sensation is unpleasantly akin to drowning, at least for me.
