ENT Update

Thank goodness I got to the appt, although I'm not sure the result is what I want. Not that I wanted surgery...just hoped there was a "this is broken, and this is how we fix it" answer. The Dr. said I have a sensitivity...almost like sensitive skin, but inside my nose. So certain things will trigger running/stuffiness...like change in temperature/humidity, scents, etc. And of course, it's heightened with pregnancy. He prescribed a nasal spray (one I already have but a lesser dose). He also said to use a cool mist machine (unfortunately I have a warm mist one already...guess I'll have to go shopping). I'm due to go back in 3 months. Could be worse I guess.

Oh, speaking of worse...I felt so blessed to get some $$ I wasn't expecting from work. Between that and the top up, I thought I just might have enough to pay off both student loans. And then the stove went...drat! Both fridge and stove are as old as I am so I shouldn't complain. DH's aunt owns Bedford Buy & Sell and gave me a great deal on 2 new appliances. Still, there goes that "extra" $$ out the window. It never rains but it pours. What can you do? We couldn't live off 2 small barely working burners and the pour fridge seals have had the biscuit. Again, could be worse. Could've been that we didn't have the $$ what-so-ever and had to buy on a credit card. Gotta look at the bright side, even if the situation does suck.

I have the same prob and am stuffed up more often that not. It's a pain but what can ya do I guess. I stopped my allergy meds while I was prego and then, I couldn't take em cause they made my heart wonky. Weird. Maybe after Lily's arrival things will improve.

Sucks about the appliances going. Always something isn't there. Like you said though, it could be worse. Hope today finds you well! :)

I think I might have a cool mist machine for you to borrow if you didn't buy one already.

That isn't great news about no "real" solution though :( Hope it does get better for you.
