Sunday morning the water censor in the basement started singing merrily. Larry's shower water had come back through the pipe and out the drain in the floor by the sump pump. I had been hearing the sounds of cloggediness in the drains for about 3 weeks. There is a partial collapse in the sewer pipe 30 feet down from the cleanout drain in the yard. Of course, it isn't on city property and runs across the neighbor's yard. In that partial collapse, tree roots love to get in and get the moisture in there. Larry bought a metal sewer rod, spending all evening trying his best to get the thing cleaned out. (our heat index was over 100º yesterday.) So this morning he called the sewer sucking service to get the clog cleaned out. They haven't come as yet. Bathroom detail has been interesting. Joel's place, the church, and Dad's apartment are all within minutes of the house.
The humidity is still very high today, though it is 8 or 9º cooler than yesterday. So thankful for that.
This morning Dad had a regular check up. The doctor changed his BP meds because the BP numbers were creeping higher. The doctor was pleased with the results. Now the new medicine can cause problems with kidney function so he is checking that out. Dad's function is not great as it is. God knows all about that too.
