    We had a deep cleaning housekeeping group come in and I told them ahead of time no harsh chemicals due to my pets and myself. Two girls were in the back rooms I still had to close the doors twice . The agency sent three young girls that couldn’t speak any English and handed me the phone when they arrived to speak to their Boss.

    I didn’t like this scenario and wasn’t aware it would be like this.

    One girl was in the main room with me I still had to text and again tell her about the chemical smell sensitivity issue. She said she told them. I had to go upstairs anyway.

    At the end she asked if I was satisfied. I have not heard from them again.

    Still looking for someone once a week to help me out.

    I have IPC tbd Dr. thought at first maybe autoimmune related but, after further testing was not the case. I never smoked but, yet have some emphysema and Asthma and going on 6 yrs IPF caught early stage but, had every year trouble with being immunocompromised gett g over. Bronchitis/Pneumonia. My Asthma Dr. working on building up my immunity. I was in a Retail Store behind someone vaping away. I cannot believe Security allowed it. I stepped away but, got out to my car and had to take my Emergency Inhaler. Too Sensitive I guess. Boy I did want to say something for sure couldn’t get my breath enough.
