The blood work for the mold issues and allergies came back all negative. So, mold in the apartment, but none in my body. I've been staying with my sis gal pal Nancy in her house whilst this place is renovated and stuff. Had a massage last week, wow did THAT do wonders. See him again the end of the month after the play is over. Tomorrow, I meet with Dr. Francis, the new rheumatologist. Will she have the answer? Please?

So yeah, about that. Lung test and chest x-ray show no mold concern, blood sent out. And again we wait and wonder. Doc did give a strong recommendation to get the basement tested for radon. He also believes that if anyone, a rheumatologist would be the one to find any answer. He claims to full well understand my frustration of not finding the "why", and explained that neuropathy is one of the more difficult conditions to comprehend.

I'm fixing to near my end of being the semi-stoic, tough(?), stubborn Norwegian, and just want to beg, "I want my Mom"...

So, I've an appointment in the morn with my primary care doctor. Will be doing a breathing inhaling exam, a chest x-ray, bloodwork (sent to Utah) and a consult with the doc. All to see if there is any issue with mold in my system.

 Over the weekend, I get to hear about a cousin's husband who had died from mold. But, mind you, he had had emphazima, and it was toxic black mold. Then my brother who works in maintenance gives me the concerns about asbestos and lead paint since it is an old house. Yeah, as if I don't have enough on my mind already...

Papa God, can we say "Uff Da and/or Good Grief" already?

The air purifier did wonders. Amazing. Got the lower level of the cupboards and counters all cleared out and scattered through the apartment. I've got offers from Nancy and from Paul & Nicole if need be I could stay with them. Sounds like the kitchen might end up getting gutted. A professional(?) gave it a preliminary look and does not believe it to be anything toxic, just invasive.


All this, and I am in rehearsals, supposed to be memorizing my lines.
