that’s just pathetic. done with you.

PS: Don’t you really wish a lot of other Senators would have gotten over their issues with Trump before we got to the point of trying to enact new laws?

People with dementia and incontinence often get these. Even if you get enough water into them, their systems don’t always fully empty, they are sitting in a wet diaper before it’s realized, and theyir immune systems are in bad shape. And so their dementia gets worse due to all the undx’ed utis.

Thad may have the clap and it is rubber mallet and mat time.

Same here. I don’t have cancer - yet - but I have what they call an “anomaly” that the urologist keeps an eye on with an annual cystoscopy. Yuck.

Also, as we’ve noticed with our elderly parents and acquaintences, for some reason hygiene isn’t what it used to be. They seem to be afraid of showering and bathing. And with arthritis impacting joints sometimes it’s tough to keep clean. “Clean” is critical for avoiding UTIs.

My mother swears by something she gets through Amazon - “D-Mannose by Superior Labs. Last I saw, it had over 555 reviews and 5 stars.

Yes, they seem to be afraid of bathing or showering or washing their hair. Funny, kids with autism have a similar fear. And people with dementia become unable to properly toilet (at first they simply forget to wipe but eventually it is too difficult to do) so of course it’s hard to keep them clean. My mom is a stroke risk, had one last spring, lucky she didn’t have any sequelae but since they can’t learn anything, it would be so cruel if she became affected by a stroke. Better the next one takes her bye bye. :(
