Re: Call me Noah (A tale of chemobrain and stress)

And it would be easy if we could just identify stress before it happens but seems like something that once seemed so simple can end up being stressful these days...Jackie has a good point about the mold. We have several carpet cleaning companies who do water removal and drying that will prevent the mold but you have to get them in pretty quickly after the flood. If there is serious damage to the floor or wall or basement ceiling, then homeowners insurance covers damage. We had a toilet overflow once and it ruined all the carpet in our hall and living room/dining room. Our homeowners covered cleaning and replacment (of course with a deductible but that was less that us replacing it).
