Thanks Ghiro but its nothing to do with drinking. My partner is due to go for an operation and the hospital have asked him to go a day early as they have found bacs or bracs in his urine and said he will have to go on a drip. Now I am not sure if he has got the spelling correct or misheard the telephone conversation . We do not live together and he is not able to visit before his addmision because I have a nasty cold virus and it would be disasterous if he caught it. So I am not fully informed, just clutching at straws realy. He is having his prostate removed on Friday. Quite worrying in itself.
