@keithcarey84 I would also strongly recommend you do not wait on the treatment for the UTI. As a crisis clinician, I can’t tell you how many calls are made from families or staff at nursing homes because of aggressive and other behaviors caused by untreated UTIs. She could become psychotic. and have hallucinations. It is one of our first screening questions.

Thank you SO very much for this!

Even her Primary Care scoffed at me regarding this causing mental confusion.

Cannot see her Urologist until the last week of JUNE.
grrrr
I feel like a General Contractor trying to "Network" these people.
"out of sight; out of mind" with Doctors.
I will be most happy to keep a dialog going with you!
I have exhausted my 10 covered Care Giver counseling .
Even her family will not get involved!
Prayer support too, please?Keith
