Hi Sue,
You are truly inspirational. Yes, we have to live, and life is short (not a cliche). It seems to me that we may not be able to eliminate Mycobacterium bacteria in our daily life no matter what we do. Maybe the best thing we could do is to keep the airway as clean as possible. I am wondering if this bacteria is cleared by itself for a normal and healthy person. Does that mean if we keep our airway clean, the bacteria will behave the same to us? That is a question I would love to find out. To ask for an accessible room with a hand-held shower head is a great idea. I am thinking of changing one of our showers to hand-held. I believe dining outdoors is no problem, concerts and plays are also ok, because we can wear masks. You mentioned that pandemic normalizes mask wearing. That is true and it is to our advantage. I used to get away from people who wear masks. Now I appreciate people wearing masks. I have two grandkids, one is 9 and one is 6. I am very open to them, if they are sick, I just can't afford to be around. I still need some time to sink all in, be careful and not paranoid.
Many thanks for your experience sharing!
