So it's been over 2 weeks since I got the #adenoidectomy surgery. It has literally changed my life. Before, I was always groggy with low energy, quick to anger with mood swings. I had pushed most of my family away with my outbursts and made things stressful for my wife.

After the surgery, my sleep quality has improved 1000%. The #sleepapnea my enlarged #adenoid was causing went away along with the anger and mood swings. I have so much more energy and am fully alert now. Before, I nodded off most of the day and would be exhausted halfway through the day regardless of what I did that day. I had constant brain fog as well. That's all gone now.

In a way, getting a #herniated disk in my neck saved me. My wonderful wife @polarisu recognized this when I thought I had back pain. I got the #MRI I needed to diagnose the condition, which also found the enlarged adenoid that was causing myself and everyone around me misery. She saved my life. Again (I had a precancerous mole removed years ago, thanks to her noticing and having me see a dermatologist).

This just goes to show how critical sleep is to your mental and physical health. If you think you have these symptoms, I urge you to speak with an #ENT. All it takes to find it is a quick endoscopy up your nose to see it.

3rd #surgery down for the year. #adenoidectomy was successful, and I'm resting up at home now.

I have a bit of a sore throat, but I'm already breathing easier. I'm very hopeful the #sleepapnea will finally go away, and I won't feel wiped out most of the week anymore.

I tell ya, the #adenoidectomy can't come soon enough. I spend most of the week on the verge of exhaustion due to the #sleepapnea, and it seems to be interfering with work now.

Earlier in the day, I had a call with a colleague and wanted to share my screen. I couldn't find the button. After said colleague shared theirs instead to get to the page I was talking about, I found it. At the bottom of the GUI...with a big button that said "SHARE SCREEN". 

Later, I received an e-mail asking to see if someone on my team could troubleshoot a potential issue of a closed port blocking needed traffic from one server to the other. I read it as "Server A" to "Sever B" even though it was actually "Server A" to "Server C."

So incorrectly, assuming A to B, I saw the required ingress port was closed for Server B and opened it up. I replied to the email and said it was all set. I then get a response with: "Thanks, but it was actually A to C."

So I walked back the port I opened in error and tried opening ingress on A even though it's A to C, since a colleague mentioned they had to do that once to solve a similar issue. No go, but it's EOD for me, so I'll have to check again tomorrow.
