Re: HELP ME!/Gerry

[Guest guest]

Gerry, that is a good thought, but he has been taking

his clothes off for sometime, but most recently in the

bed, it was always in other rooms like while watching

television.

In the last few months he has been taking them off in

bed. A few months ago, I think it was in November, I

thought these actions were caused due to a UTI and had

the paramedics come and get him, but eveything checked

out fine, there was no UTI. That is when I attmepted

to have the Social Worker at the hospital put Jim into

a facility, but since we did not have MediCal nor are

we able to pay the full price of his stay for a month

or more, they would not transfer him, so he was

allowed to stay the night at the hospital. I was able

to get a nights rest and then they released him and

sent him home. I probably will end up having him

checked out for a UTI again, you never know with this

hideous disease.

Thanks again for caring. Hugs.........Jan
