I had my gallbladder removed several years ago, thank goodness for that.
I saw my Allergy & Asthma doc today, he was extremely thorough, I had two different breathing tests, past both of them with flying colors. It seems that right now there is no lung damage. I do however have, (and I cannot remember the name of this stuff, it is very long) an inflamation in the cartilege thats works itself in and around the ribs. He gave me a strong anti-inflamatory, along with 3 days of Predisone treatment. HE said after that I should be fine.
When I asked what could cause this, he said STRESS !!   
I have contacted the EPA, they are working with me, today they called and left a message, they found the person who deals with this refinery on a regular basis.
I have lost an area of grass that is about 16x18'. It lays directly in front of the landscaping job across the front of my house, that I had done back in the spring. I also had two beautiful flowering shrubs that turned black and crispy. Now, I have been a gardener for many years, I have lost many plants, they turn brown and die. NEver ever have I had one turn black and crispy. IT is a chemical, my h agrees with me, though, he does not have the time to let himself get as upset as I am about it. The thing is, I work out in that bed daily, my hands are in that dirt. IF it were you, would you want to put your hands in dirt that could be contaminated? What about sitting in that patch of dead grass while I am pulling weeds, etc.? Would you demand that the grass be re-sodded? The dirt/mulch be totally removed? The plants, 3 of them cost me $100. each, this is the first time in our married lives that I have spent that kind of money on something like that, but my kids are grown and gone, and this is something that I dearly love to do, so I bought them. Would you demand that every plant be taken up and replaced????
Tell me, what would you do??
My first thought was to demand they come out and remove it all, and have it totally replaced. And, I might just do it!!! IT is going to hurt me to see those pretty plants pulled up and burned, but what if they turn black tomorrow??
In all, I have approximately, 53 plants in that bed.
I need your input here friends!!
Thank you so much for caring enough to read this.
