IT IS WHAT IT IS.....

Post by jacquelyn123 »

Well, I had a chest XRay done at my six month physical on Wednesday. I've had this bad cough from being sick about 5 weeks ago. It just won't go away. They called me today and said that I have EMPHYSEMA. I do not smoke and nobody in my home smokes and I cannot stand to be around smokers. My hubby and I were trying to figure out where I got this disease from?! Then it dawned on me. I've been using GHSP to paint my reborn dolls for 10 years and using a portable oven to bake them in. Everytime I open that oven door the fumes leap out at me and I try to hold my breath, but, I guess that didn't work. I have now retired from making these babies, but, now I'm not even going to make a custom every now and then. I'm so done as I do not want this disease to get any worse.....

Just a heads up! That's why I'm posting this under GENERAL DOLLY DISCUSSIONS!

I don't really "love" it anymore, Cyndi. After losing my only sibling, my dear sister I have lost my love for this art form.
Time to move onto doing something else for awhile.

So sorry to hear that you're ill. And scary to think it was from something as innocent as reborning. I hope you can be treated and will feel better.

Oh Jacquelyn! I am so sorry. My aunt had emphysema but she did smoke. I, too, will be praying that it doesn't worsen. {{hugs}}
