Re: A Little Story

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

That was a wonderful story. My heart was touched by it, as I am sure everyone

on this board was touched. I am sorry to have to act in the role of " The Ghost

of Christmas Future " , in your " Christmas Carol " .

Last year, at the age of 92, my father died, as the direct result of 2 years of

daily mold exposure, in his car. I had experienced a more noticeable set of

symptoms, from the same car, so I had stopped using the car, after 2 or 3 months

of experiencing symptoms. My health improved, while his health continued to

deteriorate.

During his 10 to 15 hospitalizations, in his last 2 years, I would explain, to

ALL the doctors, that mold exposure was the underlying causation of all of his

medical problems, and I would see the look in their eyes, that said: " This guy

needs psychiatric help. "

Here's where I become " The Ghost of Christmas Future " , so, if you would rather

not hear this, just hit the " delete " button, right now.

Over the 2 years, as the deterioration of my father's body began to be

noticeable, even to him, he began listening to my mold warnings. He even bought

a new car. But, by that time, the mold damage to his body was irreversible..

Here is how this relates to YOUR " little story " .

During each of my father's hospitalizations, he would become a little more

receptive to my mold warnings, and would " PROMISE " to make lifestyle changes, to

lower his exposure to mold. He would even promise to NOT enter the " moldy

home " , of his favorite grandaughter.

As soon as he got home, from the hospital, he totally forgot the mold-avoidance

promises that he had made in the hospital.

, YOUR mother will forget any " mold-avoidance " promises, that she makes to

you, while she is hospitalized, or in rehab.

YOUR " Christmas Carol " will NOT have the happy ending of the Dickens

novel. Once she is back in the same environment, that produced her life-long

personality disorder, she will lose the cognitive ability to connect her mood

shifts to her environmental surroundings.

Unless her moldy home has been sold, or burned down[with insurance], she will

return to living in it, and she will fail to see that she is having a

" mood-shift " , from " positive " in rehab, to " negative " at home.

I feel like the " Grinch Who Stole Christmas " away from you. But, for your own

mental health, I urge you to prepare for my future scenario.

Thank you for all your wonderful board postings, all year long.

I wish you, and your mother, a wonderful holiday, and a New Year, in which I

will be proven TOTALLY WRONG, in my predictions.

God Bless,

Joe

-Hi lisa, I too saw my Husband, whose work room was right next to the mold, turn

into a monster over the years, raging, and arthritis and other mold symptoms,

too late it was when I found out what was causing all our illness for years.
