You put me to shame with your wine moderation, Maggie. As you may imagine, I had every test and scan under the sun last week, and was amazed to be informed that my liver is in pretty decent condition. My kidneys are the right size, my bladder empties nicely (I had an ultrasound scan with it full and with it empty, within five minutes!), there are no blockages anywhere... My creatinine levels were, however, through the roof. They were going down nicely by Friday and I'm hoping for near-normality when I'm tested tomorrow. I'm hoping that tomorrow will be the end of an horrendous period of my life. That period included (wait for it...) the emptying for the first time in 34 years of our septic tank. I was expecting to be told that, oh dear, we can't do this, it's set like concrete in there.... But the chap said it was one of the best he'd seen and that it was really easy to empty! We understand that our system, which has always worked like a dream, may not comply with new regulations. That can be an issue for next week/month/year! There are only two rules, which we've always kept to religiously: no biological detergents and no bleach.
