Thank you! I'n doing enough better that I can eat. Motion sickness from sitting in an armchair is weird.

ETA for a while when I first made it down stairs, both cats were hovering around me. Sammie has gone back upstairs to assume her usual napping location.

WS, do you ever use the nasal spray decongestants? I've become a convert. They help open my Eustachian tubes better and faster than systemic decongestants. YMMV of course.

Larry David is totally right--if the body was a car nobody would buy one...too much maintenance.

I use a saline nasal spray sometimes, but I have avoided decongestant sprays due to rebound effects. Are they better about that than they used to be?

My doctor said not to use them for more than three days in a row to avoid the rebound effect. I've found that to be about right. I can use them once or twice and that will be enough to take care of the congestion without rebounding.

Thanks, Zen. Is there any specific active ingredient that seems better than others?

Feel better, WS.

You are my hero.

If I were truer to my Italian-American heritage, I would have a whole second kitchen in the basement, but the second fridge really does come in handy, especially the freezer part. It actually came with the house. It's a zillion years old but still running. My guess is it will run longer than the new, noisy one in our kitchen.

I went for a bra fitting today for nursing bras. It took forever and the size is much bigger than I could have imagined, so I'm glad I didn't try to guesstimate it.

Is there any specific active ingredient that seems better than others?

I use Afrin. That's what my doctor recommended specifically. I don't know about any other version.

We have baby classes all day tomorrow, and I'm so tired today. Hopefully I'll find some energy tomorrow.

I use Nasonex nasal spray, and it helps a whole lot.
