Abba Father, it's me again. I need your comfort something crazy like. Thank you for your ever presence!

So. I did some brief internet browsing on this radon stuff. Scary paranoia type of stuff all over about lung diseases and cancers. It can't be that bad, no?

I called my primary care doc again, left a message with his nurse saying that I had some more questions. My doc himself returns the call to me, not his nurse calling back.

He reiterated once again that radon is a very serious killer and should not be messed with. He stated that he was serious about that neither of us should live in the house with the issue being untreated. He is unaware of any connection btwn radon and neuropathy, but to call my rheumatologist to verify. He also said that having lived in there for six years, I will need to start an annual chest x-ray to verify. He stated that he had re-checked my x-ray and lung test from the mold concern and did not see any concerns in those.

So. Now what? I've a call in with the rheumatologist. I'll get with my landlady Dora to see what she knows, thinks, recommends. Maybe it could be retested? Maybe the rooting around and remodeling and all just stirred the stuff up and will settle down after the remodel? Moving? Ha! Please, no?

What a fun month March has been, eh?
