Hope you are feeling better :)
I have su...Hi Sue!<br /><br />Hope you are feeling better :)<br /><br />I have suggested to Hubby on several occasions about a day facility. I think it would feel like lottery winnings to me too.<br />But, he is very adamant about NOT going. <br /><br />I learned the hard way that once that sets in there is no moving him.<br /><br />I should have already known since it's not much different then before his diagnosis. ;-)<br /><br />He doesn't appear to have any change in urine and the last time I thought he did have a UTI and had him tested it came back negative.<br /><br />I just think his falling is attributed to that part of his brain that is dying. He just doesn't know how to pick up his feet and move his leg anymore. He leans forward so much that it throws him off balance also.<br /><br />I originally thought that with his progression he would lose all his walking ability by this summers end. At this rate it may be sooner. <br /><br />One day at a time. huh?Kathy Lowreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08866920774643291297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985636024645022382.post-57162677151733472472011-02-12T22:08:18.002-06:002011-02-12T22:08:18.002-06:00Would Hubby go to a day program?Would Hubby go to a day program?Susan Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019940790074997076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985636024645022382.post-66229631989380095902011-02-12T22:06:57.112-06:002011-02-12T22:06:57.112-06:00I know your pain.

I also found that my mom gets more confused and less stable on her feet when she has a UTI.<br /><br />She has another one now. Antibiotics help a lot.Susan Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019940790074997076noreply@blogger.com
