Re[6]: Re: Too Much Inflamation - sewer gas in hot water

Thank you so much, . Mom and Dad are 89 and 91 respectively.

Their home is a very nice old n and the bathroom downstairs

was an add-on, so your advice is right on. I will give this to my Son,

who does their carpentry/sundry work. I mentioned it to him by phone

tonight. Mom and Dad agreed, too, that they may have to replace the

water heater and pipes. We'll certainly investigate.

That's not the worst of their problems. They once in a while get water

in their basement: MOLD! I can't go down there. About 2 years ago, my

parents decided to begin to clean it out. Right afterwards, they were

both ill. Dad had a series of strokes and now must use a walker. Just

a few weeks ago, Mom went back down to clean out some papers, etc. She

wound up so ill that I thought we were going to lose her. The day

after her attack, she went for blood tests and her liver enzymes were

228 and just under 300. Well, they still don't believe it's the mold.

Fortunately, she's recovering, but sleeping a lot. It's such a shame

because at their ages, they were in better shape than I am. A decade

ago, I wanted them to have testing done down there. I've asked them to

get professional cleaners, but they resist. Maybe now they will. I'm

so grateful to still have them. They're the most wonderful parents in

the world.
