I don't think I will have any issues re: the pill going down the wrong way

I ended up having to call my PCP's office yesterday to ask if he could prescribe something different than, or in addition to, the prilosec and gaviscon for my upper GI issues. I didn't get a response. I should have just asked to come in... now I'm going to have to wait until Tuesday because Monday is the Boston Marathon and most people in Massachusetts, including those in my doctor's office, have it off.
I'll choose an OTC substitute for prilosec myself, but I'll do some research online first. I know some of those things carry warnings and have med interactions. I've excluded prevacid because of its indications. I've already tried zantac and pepcid.

I'm spending a small fortune in OTC meds

Yesterday I did two loads of laundry and vacuumed... that's about as exciting as I get at baseline. I usually don't do much as far as cleaning on the weekends because my husband's home, but he decided to go in today. His extra day at work gives me another day to make up for slacking off, but I'm not going to be overly ambitious

It's beautiful this morning. It makes me wish I had swept up the patio and had my husband bring out the furniture yesterday. It's supposed to be sunny all day and close to 60 degrees. Tomorrow will also be sunny all day and close to 70! It snowed 2 weeks ago!!
