Poor dear kelly: Your eloquent and miserably sad post could
have brought tears to my eyes, but I think you may be going through
a bad patch and will emerge. Second opinion? Have you thought
to ask your primary care doctor for another pulmonologist?
Asthmatic clay artists do abound; one is my friend who still
teaches clay sculpture but is by chance working with thick
paper or metal and paint and even getting architectural commissions.
Her boys are grown and in college, so that makes her life
easier, but I feel certain you will survive all but the lack
of your homemade wine.
Have you thought of tea instead of postum? It can be delightful
if you go past Lipton's tea bags into the realm of Darjeeling,
Irish Breakfast tea et al. Someone on the list couldn't believe
people still use teapots and wrote that only her grandmother did. Well,
I can't argue with her since I am a grandmother of 6, but even
before the progeny, I made and used teapots, now more sculptural
but still most of them could be used. I didn't have time to
write an argument when I saw her post.
But YOU! Of course we all commiserate, but I have a gut feeling
this is just a bad patch.
Courage and strength! And healing!!!warmest regards, Bacia
