Lisa and Lana: Taking Care of Our Parents
Surprise! It's a UTI
The dreaded UTI.
When you meet another person who is also caring for their elderly parent, the UTI is the biggest ice breaker. The topic comes up and the conversation quickly moves to swapping horror stories, commiserating, and complaining.
In this episode we go over the traditional symptoms of a Urinary Tract Infection and why they are often not helpful at all when determining if your parent has a problem.
As always we share our own experiences (mostly so you can learn from our mistakes) and give you some things to be on the lookout for, outside the normal symptoms.
We'll discuss some helpful preventative measures, and give you a few methods and tools that can get your parents the assistance and medical care they need.
