Well you haven't heard from me much lately because I've been totally wiped out. Ian's dad was ripping out the shower stall in our downstairs bathroom, and there turned out to be more mold there. It must have really gotten into the air. Tuesday I was so achey and tired all day. I didn't think a whole lot of it, I thought maybe I was coming down with something. Yesterday when I woke up, I couldn't take deep breaths without my lungs hurting. Throughout the day it got worse and worse until it felt like my lungs were on fire all the time. I was just miserable! I slept for about 4 hours in the middle of the day but still felt awful after. That's when Ian said you know what, it's probably the mold! I honestly hadn't even thought about it, but I am allergic to mold so that would explain me having that reaction.
I opened some windows which wasn't pleasant because it turned cold yesterday and was only about 40 degrees. It really did help though and within a couple of hours my lungs were hurting much less. Ian bleached the mold when he got home and we left the windows open a bit longer, and I was feeling better.
Today my lungs still hurt with deep breaths but it is MUCH better. I think they are just recovering now.
It's so weird, it made my lung capacity so much less. Everything makes me out of breath the past couple days. It's getting better now but man that was weird. It was like gainin 100 pounds overnight or something. So uncomfortable!!! I'm so glad I'm starting to get better, this has NOT been fun.
