Well, you are INSANE, but thats not relevant to this issue....lol

I'd just recognize the risks and take any precautions that can easily be

taken. That's part of what we all face, determining what risks to take

and how to minimize them without giving up those things important to us.

For me, vacuuming was easy to give up...lol

Pest control comes monthly. It's needed but the fresh spray isn't

something I want to inhale. So, when he walks in, I walk out and go run

errands and things for a few hours. I always plan that day that way.

I was trying to think of times I've forgotten all the rules and one

comes to mind. Not long after my surgery and move, stopped by to

pick up boxes I had emptied for her move. As we were carrying boxes out

(me wearing oxygen), she took a shortcut and fell face down in a flower

bed (within inches of concrete on two sides). I ran to check on her,

forgetting any and all about my health. I'd do the same again as I think

most of us would. Amazingly, she was ok. I'm not sure how. I can only

imagine how far my sats dropped and I then did turn up the oxygen and

sit until I was ok.
