Today we were getting more from storage to bring into the house. The storage place is full of dust and molds. I had a coughing fit from it, then my chest felt funny for hours. I'll take a break from going to that place for a day or two. I think I'm super sensitive to molds. Probably even an allergy.

I'm sorry you are going through this and your poor brother. My husband had a collapsed lung and it was awful (it was years ago now).


What is your brother's prognosis?


My friend who just died had terminal cancer and used Canada's MAID (medical assistance in dying) program. If your brother's prognosis is poor he may qualify if there's something like that where you live. I hope he is able to recover though.
