Seems I've heard a saying: "Whenever it rains, it pours!"

Watch out for the molds to grow out of the wet carpet! It happened to our bed room in 2007 - right after the diagnosis of my recurrence! One early morning we woke up to water dripping down from the light on the ceiling directly above our bed! Turned out there's a leak on our roof from a previous hail storm... We contacted our insurance agent who sent adjustors to check it out. I called around and located a contractor, ... etc. The Insurance company would only pay for half of the roof! Hubby was furious and went to the agent's office... (We'be been their customer for almost 20 years and bought more than one product from them...) They sent another adjustor and eventually agreed that we're due for a 'complete' new roof...

Before the roof was repaired about 10 days after the rain leak, we noticed black molds sprouting along the wall... I was due to start my chemo within a few weeks, and my 2nd Sister had just arrived from overseas ready to take care of me... That was the most stressful summer in our life!
