I take Tylenol PM to help me sleep so that I can heal that way. Also I take the Tylenol cold, but very cautiously. I've had a cold drag for quite a while now...teaching lends itself to that. It is a "pain" to handle. Hope you feel better soon. Take care of yourself. Love, Cyndi

Hi Everyone, I am am so sick with a cold! what do you all take for colds now that you have had this surgery? I am running a fever of 102 for 2 days now and taking tylenol which helps the sore throat,but the congestion,runny nose and cough is horrible. Plus the fact that the tempratures dropped (last week near 70) to low 20's and wind chills in the single digits..I am frozen! Okay I am gonna stop my whining now........... advise welcome!! Thank ya'all! Nancy

Here are a couple I have been using. I am not big on following recipes but usually just get the main idea from them and then adapt to my tastes. Tostadas Bake whole corn tortillas until they are crisp. I use the toaster oven. Put anything you like on top such as: Beans Taco meat (beef, pork, chicken or turkey) cheese lettuce tomato salsa sour cream olives onions I usually just do beans, cheese, tomatos and taco sauce for a really quick meal. DS loves these. We used to fry them until I realized it was much easier and more healthy to bake them. They taste just as good too. Mini Omlets I was getting tired of scrambled eggs so made an easy change. I scramble one egg in a cup and add a dash of water or milk. I pour it in a small fry pan and roll it around to fill the bottom of the pan. When it it looks pretty well set I loosen the edges and flip it over. Then I place whatever toppings I want on it. When all is warmed I slide it out of the pan onto the plate flipping it in half with the edge of the pan. My favorite lately is to chop one small pre-cooked sausage patty into the egg before I put it in the pan. Then I put LOTS of cheese on it. www.hungrygirl.com I get a daily email from this website with lots of low cal/fat recipes. There are lots of recipes for yummy stuff that she makes over to be more healthy. She is really funny and knows her food. She gives all the nutrition stats and even the Weigh****chers points.
