[quote=Anonymous]Buckle up. Sounds like there is some delirium or dementia going on, possibly or likely I related to a UTI (and the drinking isn’t going to help - you need to find a way to get the alcohol out of the picture and involve a dr). My father also repeatedly pulled out his cath tube and no amount of taping, hiding, distraction, or trickery helped so we ultimately had to go to intermittent catheterization where someone had to insert the tube 4 times a day to remove the urine so there was not a tube and bag constantly present. I’m sorry you are going through this and I hope you find the help you need. Ditto UTIs being a silent killer in the elderly…I had no idea until I lived it.[/quote]
