Good to hear he is out of the hospital. Not so good about his memory, etc.

So many are getting UTIs in the hospital these days. Wonder why?

Petting a horse would make anyone’s day!

Thank you!

In my FIL’s case, my suspicion is that they did not stay on him to drink water like they do at the memory care (or like we did when he lived here). You have to stand there and watch him drink it, otherwise he would just take a sip and pour it down the sink if you walked away.

This was a mental health / dementia facility so his level of one-on-one care was not as good.

In the hospital, I don’t know. Maybe cleaning issues? After my older son had brain surgery (as a teen), the cleaning staff came through with the same mob bucket, room to room. After I saw that the first time, I went behind them and wiped everything with germicidal wipes, and put some on the ground and used my feet to wipe the floor with them too. You cannot imagine how dirty those wipes were!
