Friendship Moments: good or bad

[lighter]

A neighbor had recent shoulder surgery.  She woke up with bright blood shot eyes....I mean ...they look camera ready demonic.  Crazy!

Eye clinic won't see her till Jan 2nd!  Very worrisome, imo.

Your situation, Amber, and this other seem very odd to me..... my brain can't make sense of either.

My lungs are looser......but abs feel tight as a drum from coughing. SO painful. Going to take a methacarbonol and see if that helps.

Yeah, the red goes away after I get my sinuses clear. After being up & moving for a couple hours and that hot shower, I'm not stuffy and vision is fine and they'll get the artificial tears every so often during the day.

Adding eucalyptus to the humidifier today.

Neti pot? Helps me a lot when sinuses go awry.
Non-iodized salt in the solution is advised but regular has worked for me.

Sounds like you'll weather this with no damage, but sorry you've having
to wade, Amber.

I use xylitol and Ocean nose sprays.....netti pot gives me ear infections.

Okay, can't sell y'all on the neti pot.

How about air cleaners in your most-occupied rooms, Amber?
They make really nice discreet silent effective ones these days....
Just avoid the positive ion generating, which is ironically, polluting.

Lighter, after the first couple times I bent over the sink and learned to flood my sinuses with warm salt water and watched in shock as so much gunk gunked out of the "other nostril" -- and then reversed the process for my other nostril, washed my face and BREATHED, I was sold. Some folks use it daily during the heat-the-house season, some even year round. I forget if it's Ayurveda or another form of eastern medicine, but one-a those.

Anyhoo, no preaching. (She says RIGHT after preaching, LOL...)

Happy New Year, youse guys. I support you always. Meh, if you're around, you too.

Lol.....Hops..... you're sharing, not preaching.

My BIL looooves his netti pot. It stopped all kinds of nose/nasal troubles for him.

He's, unfortunately, at the Tropical Disease specialist, this morning, for symptoms begun during a 2 week vacation in Hawaii.....some of it in tents and waterfalls.  Super painful bumps on hands, elbows and feet...separate, some fluid filled
 Some not. 
Fever.
Swollen, red single boy bit.....that started a couple days ago. Cheeks/face not swollen, as with mumps. He's seen many doctors, who have no clue.

Praying this morning's appt will sort him out.
