We had little doubt that we were living in a toxic house the past 5 years.  
The dust that accumulated was epic.  And there was much mold in the basement
that fired up even more when it flooded again or just when we had humid
weather in the summer.  We've both been SOOOOO much better sinus-wise since
the move.  We're both taking much less Sudafed which is really nice -
especially as I have to sign in blood to buy it these days.  I've even dared
to eat ice cream a couple of times and have been eating more cheese.  In
Hillman, my other allergies were so bad I didn't dare have anything that
would fire up the milk allergy.  now I can risk it occasionally!

Meanwhile, i had a 'get-acquainted' appointment with our new PCP last Friday.
First impression is that he's a definite keeper.  Would you believe he even
has his pager number on the answering machine at the office so patients can
page him themselves?  That's a real first IME.  Actually, he wasn't taking
any new patients, but we had an in.  The committee that hired Mike included
the retired, much respected doctor who sold his practice to this new doc
after much looking around for the right guy.  The retired doc asked the new
guy to take us on.  The new guy asked all the right questions, *listened* to
my answers, asked the right follow-up stuff, knew something about all my meds
and my specialists, etc.  Hopefully I won't have to see him again until my
physical in the fall, but it's good to have the groundwork started with a
good doc.

Oh, and he was practicing in Bay City during that year we were there.  When I
mentioned having a bozo of an RD there whom I would never recommend to
anyone, he knew just who I meant!  I couldn't remember the name, but he knew
it!  LOL

So, Mike flew off to Florida for 11 days this morning - first a conference,
then a couple of days visiting his daughetr & SIL.  I've decided while he's
gone, I'm treating myelf to a visit to the massage thereapist here who does
trigger point & myofascial release as well as the standards.  She should be
able to work out some of the kinks left from all the stressors of the last 3
months.  I've gone from having to drive 25 miles to get a halfway decent
massage to having an excellent one available just a few blocks walk away! I'm
callling tomorrow to talk about an appointment, I'm not sure how much work my
body will tolerate right now.  But I must get started on something to calm
the fibro back down after all this work.

Now though, I really MUST go to bed!  LOL
