    About Me

    I am a mom of 3 and a grammy of 4. I live in SW Florida. I have numerous allergies. Generally if it grows locally, I have an allergy to it! I am also allergic to soy, latex, milk, peanuts, potatoes, oranges, clams. I also have some sensitivities to other foods. I am allergic to cats, dogs, and horses. To round it off...I also have asthma.

      Hi hon: Boy you sure have your share of problems! Do you like animals? I, too, have asthma and am allergic to molds, hay, weeds, etc. and animals (especially cats). However, I love animals. I discovered 15 years ago that poodles don't have fur, but hair. Since then, I have had 2 Standard (big - 75 lb.) poodles. They are super smart, protective, loving, and don't shed hair. Every 6 wks. you take them to be sheared(just like a lamb). As for your heart murmor...I was born with mine. If yours is a Mitral valve one, it is quite common with women and should not cause you any problem. Mine was a "leaky" Aortic valve and I just had it replaced this year at the age of 74. So even if yours becomes more of a problem, you'll have many more years before you have to do anything about it. However, I'm sure your is the common Mitral valve one. Ask your doctor which valve it is. Also, try not to get too stressed cause, as we all know, the darn strss also triggers our attacks. Good luck to you. Nancy

      Thanks! I have a question for you. The person who is in charge of this swap said something about when she gets the packages together (because I told her about my allergy to wool). I thought we'd be sending them to people on our own. Isn't that how yours worked? I got two squares done, I wish DS would let me upload photos!!!!
