    My dad periodically had an indwelling catheter for BPH obstruction. In my experience, any time a male has an indwelling catheter any length of time or even permanently, it's from BPH obstruction or yes from cancer. I had a male patient with a continuous catheter that I had to change monthly...

    Haven't we told you not to fear these people. They are there to help you even if you are having a 'weak' day, they will lift you up. They won't condemn you any more than we will. We all have 'bad' days and there are a lot of definitions of 'bad'. As you age you experience them all so buck up...

    Cynthia wouldn't the Foley depend on what it's there for? Like is it due to an obstructive prostate gland compared to incontinence problems?

    Take care of it. They would see that it is working properly and changed once a month. They would be there X number of days per week depending on his care level. Help with bathing, provide a bed/mattress/gerichair (reclining lounge chair for him to be in that rolls) It would take a lot off of...

    Morning all, @Granny Hatchet that is what I did with my father. When he went back to the nursing home and his mental state was doing a fast slide I told them to let me know when his weight dropped in spite of him eating along with his mental state because that, I knew from my work, was a sign of...

    There is one trick for the big horse pills. It's called pudding. Put the pill in a big spoon of pudding (I prefer chocolate kills the taste of the pill) swallow the pudding and pill down in one big gulp. I used to take Potassium. Slow K. Without pudding, lol. Don't know how many times I gagged...

    Good on you. I'm glad you are talking to your team about it. Just remember what we have been preaching at you. You can do this!

    Ahh. Caffeine. Sweetie you know there is a solution to that. If you know caffeine makes you squirelly,

    Quit it and make it something good! If you're laughing it's not too bad even now!

    Squirrelly is a natural state for me. Just ask my husband.

    I did something similar to that when I was a city dweller. How far apart are you making the two fences? My gastric acid reading, other than that, I'm peachy, lol.

    It's not fair, that is for sure. One year DH asked me if he should tell the doctor when he went in for his annual exam that he slid out on his dirt bike on a muddy trail and fell. I asked him if he was hurt, knowing the answer and he said no. Nope, I said. Moot point and they won't...

    My suspicious nature working in a branch of medicine where after a certain age when you say you fell, it becomes a matter of record that follows you. For example. When I saw my orthopedic surgeon the first time and his NP and told them how I had hurt my shoulder while initiating an emergency...

    Yeah, could be. I'm not confessing anything to anybody with a Dr in front of their name (except for my Dr. Honey) or a RPT behind their name. If my PCP ask if I've had any falls I'm going to ask them to define 'fall'.

    I made a find today. Decided I'd earned a swing by the local Crossroads consignment shop which is just a block away from my PT office. Years ago I had hand painted a large Native American nativity set. I didn't think I had room for it so I re-homed it. Always hated parting with it. Last year I...

    Not since Sunday night. No more headache, just the sore area where the lump was, where the neck goes into the skull and the sore muscles between the neck and the left shoulder. I didn't hit that shoulder thank goodness. I think my neck is sore from the blow my head took. How's Tom doing? Try...
