This video is part of a playlist. I started working on this home back in April and posted a few videos of the progress that was made in the home. This home had issues with carpet beetles and pantry moths. After cleaning up the kitchen, living room, her son's room, and three bathrooms, I left there thinking things were under control and that she was making good progress on her own, and she was, so it was a surprise to me when I texted her a few weeks ago just to see how things were coming along and this was the response I got:
"We have gotten a little bit more done at the house, but not as much as I would like. I've had some health issues comes up that have made it harder for me to clean and honestly my anxiety has made it hard, too. My neck has been hurting since early this year and at some point it became so painful that I couldn't turn my head which made it hard to drive or do much of anything. I went and got an MRI and have a few things going on in my cervical spine that are causing nerve pain and they're wanting me to get injections that will help with the pain and potentially help with the inflammation and, if that doesn't relieve the pain, I might have to get surgery. On top of that, my husband and I have been wanting to get pregnant, but haven't been able to due to my latest test showing positive for polyps in my uterus (this is the second time), so I will have to get surgery to remove the polyps either later this month or next month. Anyway, all of it has been too much, so I haven't been doing much, But I started feeling like there's more to my struggle to get this house clean. I have some pretty bad memories there with my ex-husband." -- then she goes on and tells about the abuse, which I told her I would leave out the details -- "I think the longer I've been staying away from that house, the more I've felt like I could never go back and I keep thinking it's just because of the bugs, but I think it's also because of the PTSD associated with my ex-husband. So, this past week, we started looking at houses and we're strongly considering selling our house. However, that still means we need to clean our house so, if we find somewhere we'd like to go, we're gonna have a big push to move everything to storage pretty quickly."
