I'm still sick, but better than yesterday.
Pat, you are right about getting rid of a cold takes a week no matter what you do for it.
I swear at least 10 people have asked me if I went to the doctors! When I tell them no they act like I am nuts. I tell them the real cure for a cold, (7-10 days) and then I have to hear how some doctor gave them antibiotics and they got better. Of course that would have happened anyway.
I am about all packed for Florida. I am going to LA tomorrow as my plane leaves at 6:30 am on Wed. Than on Friday its off to Disney World.
I'll try to Blog during my trip.

I bet you'll get even better in that Florida sunshine! Oops, I forgot you live in California sunshine. Anyway, have a ball. Say hello to Larry, Helen, and their cast of thousands. Looking forward to reading all about it on your blog.

Betty,
Do have a wonderful trip and I hope you have a great time.

Because you aren't completely over the cold you might want to carry some Afrin in your purse
just in case you get a sinus block from the altitude.
I learned that as a flight nurse in the AF reserve. We used to give it to passengers who'd have a problem. I guess pseudofed or something similar will do just fine.

Betty,
It's a nasal decongestant. I'd take some before the plane takes off. You can ask the druggist the safest one to take with hypertension. Some of the nasal sprays/pills have 60 mg pseudo ephedrine. I like to take the one with just 30mg. Some people get wired from that stuff anyhow. I don't know....not sure, but Afrin may not have pseudo ephedrine like most of the others. Anyhow, do have a wonderful trip.
