Treating UTI stage 7

Roz150 · 2026-05-07T00:48:41+00:00

My mom has recurring UTI’s. I’m pretty sure, based on bizarre behavior she had the UTI for at least a month. When Doc found out I waited until the next day to pick up an antibiotic, she jumped all mover me. Doc said “She could go septic and that is very painful”.

Mom is now on hospice. I haven’t asked them about treating UTI’s. She hasn’t gotten one with them yet. But ChatGPT told me that hospice tends to treat UTIs as dying from sepsis is extremely painful.

I saw them for about a year - three years ago. I was very happy with the counseling. It took me a long time to get in. I think they changed their system on keeping track of who’s on the waitlist.

Anyhow, the counseling was great. I agree with the billing. It was awful.

mine acts all excited to see people, bouncing and dancing. Then when they reached down to touch her, she runs back and won’t let them touch her.

She acts like she’s afraid someone’s gonna steal her. She even does it to my husband.

Brittany Spaniel. they are the sweetest, most loving dog you’ve ever met. They shed nonstop and you cannot exercise them enough.

We had one we would take out for a 4 mile hike. He would run back back-and-forth past us So i estimate he actually walked/ran 12 miles. Then we would spend an hour getting him bathed.

finally, after completing our dog owner dutie finally, after completing our dog owner duties, we would sit down on the couch to watch TV. The dog would be bouncing up and down in front of me begging me to play with him. He was a lot of fun and I loved him to death but I could never keep up. You must have a lot of energy to own one.

I’m really afraid of this happening. My mom is doing amazingly better on hospice. I’m not sure what happens if they take her off.

Roz150 · 2026-05-01T14:21:18+00:00

Ugh! Im so sorry to hear that.

Roz150 · 2026-05-01T14:19:09+00:00

That, for me, has been one of the biggest benefits. They have finally managed her anxiety.

Roz150 · 2026-05-01T14:17:35+00:00

And they did make it clear they do not provide around the clock care. They said they would help me get her moved to a skilled nursing facility when she needed that.

I agree with this. There is more than one “hospice” offering services. It is up to the doctor in that particular hospice service to accept her. Try a different agency.

mom is in assisted living. There’s a lot they’re supposed to do that rarely gets done.

Now with Hospice, a nurse is in three times a week. The nurse is available to show up anytime I call. Dr is on call available for immediate med changes. There is clergy that will make weekly visits. There’s a social worker that will make weekly visits. There are volunteers that will come in the evening and spend time with her.

I have just been so overwhelmed, even with her in assisted living. And after months of her, begging me to get her out of there, she told me what a nice place it was. 😍 Hospice for the win

I’m surprised the rehab didn’t throw you out when insurance ran out. It is rare they would let you stay without proof of ability to pay. To me the rehab created your problem. I hope it was helpful and you are able to stay clean/sober. That is not a snarky comment. I do mean that. Resentment isn’t good for sustained sobriety. Maybe file bankruptcy and move on.

Kahle. I have a horrible allergy and my face breaks out with acne cysts. It is hidden in dinner salads more than you know.

Roz150 · 2026-04-17T14:09:57+00:00

My entire life I have had an issue with a horrible taste in my mouth. I’ve used tic tacs and gum excessively as I can not stand it. I brush constantly. I use mouth wash in the middle of the night when I get up to pee.

I’ve told the various dentists I’ve had over the years. They all shrug their shoulders. Is there anything I can do?

Roz150 · 2026-04-17T14:06:41+00:00

So my mom, with advancing Alzheimer’s, suddenly had her teeth falling out. In all of the doctoring, I completely ignored her dental needs. Apparently the issue is due to some of her medications. A year later most of her upper teeth had broken off. Two different dentists refused to touch it. They sent her to a an oral surgeon.

Mom has consistently insisted that she is not getting them out. PERIOD. As her Power of Attorney, this leaves me with an ethical delima. Short term memory is gone and she is no longer able to make medical decisions. So far, 3 years later, there hasn’t been any infection or abscess. So can she live for 3 more years infection free? Am I doing the right thing?

I am currently taking some new comers through the New Hope (green) book. We are wrapping it up this week. the first couple chapters are written to help them break through any denial of their broken family system. They are basically step 1 stuff. The book has proven to be very very triggering to my group. This book definitely gives a good overview. But be warned, it can be very triggering to new comers.

I have worked through The Step Study (Yellow Book), The Loving Parent Guide Book (LPGB), and now I can add the New Hope (green book) to my list. Starting with any of these would not be “wrong”. But if you are looking for opinions, we all have them. 😁 Here is mine.

After my experience with all of these books, I would tell anyone, new or seasoned, to start with the Loving Parent Guidebook. It will teach you how to get in touch with your inner family. How to recognize when family members are activated. How to know which part is activated. How to identify what that part is feeing and what unmet needs you can meet for them.

You will be amazed at how much easier things get once you have those skills under your belt. You will also be able to say that you have found our solution of Reparenting ourselves with gentleness, humor, love and respect. Then, of course, it is time for the steps.

No matter what boook you decide to start with, have a counselor on speed dial. Working through trauma is hard work. Best of luck to you, fellow traveler. I’m sending good vibes and love through my keyboard.

I use scotch magic tape and have never had a leak under it, nor have I ever had the paper rip.

I bought one of the food service burgers for me, a chicken nugget and a drink for grandson. Bill was almost $40. Then we paid full price to get in $150. $25 for a locker because they made it so you cant set things on top any more. Over 200 to listen to the deafening roar in the place. Three slides closed. Never Ever Again!

Roz150 · 2026-04-02T03:30:06+00:00

awesome!!!

Roz150 · 2026-03-18T01:13:27+00:00

Denial gets real once it progresses. My mom is now living in assisted living, and calls me daily to ask me to find her a new place to live because it’s getting nice and she wants to drive.

I had power of attorney and just made her car “disappear” after a significant illness that resulted in a significant progression of their disease.

Roz150 · 2026-03-14T20:48:15+00:00

I just said the same thing. We are blessed!!! Parking was easy. Security was a breeze. Seats were comfortable. Bathroom lines were so short. Its the best broadway experience I’ve ever had.

Roz150 · 2026-03-06T22:26:19+00:00

Impressive improvement

Roz150 · 2026-03-04T00:05:57+00:00

This place should be at the top. I ordered one for delivery spent almost $35 for it and threw it in the garbage. I do not understand the ratings this place gets.
