I am not now, though I slept on the floor for quite a long time
before feeling quite lousy this past summer. My right leg had burning
sensations due to rashes (boils, carbuncles on it) and it might have
also been due to athlete's foot fungus I had in my right big toe; the
nail looks quite white from the infection, I have now for a week taken
chlor(?mazole) as a cream to dissolve the infection. I was told to keep
taking it (I also put it on my left big toe, which had an open wound I
suspect from the athlete's foot fungus, too. I will need to move boxes
and items I have at one side of my living room into the bedroom so they
can repair the opening in the ceiling at the entrance to my apartment;
there is mold on the rug at the entrance as well.
