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.

Well now. I'm in a garden-level apartment rental of a house built in the 1930s. I've been down here for over six years. We are beginning the process of discovering mold under my kitchen sink and in the walls. Kitchen wall under the sink has been torn in to, same with a section of the living room wall for the landlady et al to discover the source of a leak and/or mold source... A bit of a disarray...

Talked with the landlady tonight. The entire living room wall will have to be torn out. Mayhaps the kitchen gutted too. An environmental(?) specialist is coming tomorrow with the plumber to make a professional assessment of the problem and stuff...

Not to be an alarmist or anything, but when I mentioned the kitchen sink mold and stuff, a few friends started asking if that could be the cause of these stupid unidentifiable pain issues. I did some browsing online...

Also I have a call in with my primary care physician about getting tested for biotoxins. I'll be getting an air purifier tomorrow, reimbursed by the landlady. Depending on what the specialist determines, I might end up needing to stay elsewheres until stuff is controlled. My landlady said she would knock off the March rent and/or prorate the rent or such.
Uff da.

 Blood tests for celiac disease are back... Drum Roll... Negative. So, still no rhyme or reason for the chronic paresthesia nomadic peripheral neuropathic pain, aka The Tingle Trail. Whee. But, so, this Norwegian is very GLAD that he does not have to give up flour and wheat and bread and potet klubb and lefse and goros and . . . . Maybe I should yoga? I do have that deep tissue massage appointment next Wednesday evening. Thank you YHWH for holding me through all this muck.
