Are you Caring for a Partner & Parents with Dementia/Alzheimers
Just wondering how many of us are actively caring for partners or parents with dementia/alzheimers? If there are enough interested in doing so, we could ask the mods for our own group, to discuss...
OK .... we Got in to see urologist nice & early Today - he took us straight in! Lovely chap. He was happy with Hubby's flow. Now Getting ct scan of prostate kidney and bladder to rule out anything sinister. Will be starting tablets tonight. It May increase dementia effects and affect his blood pressure (he's gotta be careful getting up not too fast) but should decrease urine flow. Will trial it for 6 weeks and monitor side effects. There is another one we can try if this one doesn’t suit.
The practice Incontinence nurse will fill in form for CAPS funding towards cost of pads/pants.
Can't wait to have a full night sleep again... it’s been 6 weeks of 4+ nightly interruptions! It is Making me cranky!! I don't like being cranky!! It is not his fault.
Fingers crossed this works. The tablets Take a week to take effect Xx
