[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP but @10:31- when an elderly person gets a UTI they often are hospitalized and they have bizarre symptoms.  Being in a hospital in when you have dementia is terrifying because you don't know why you are there or how you got there.  So yes, it is likely that the humane thing to do was to visit mom in the hospital with a UTI.  You'd probably know all of that if you were involved in the care of your parent.[/quote]

I'm 10:31. My father died with dementia 18 months ago, my mother, as I mentioned in the post, has it now, having recently progressed rapidly from moderate to fairly severe. She made the choices did when she chose to live near her favorite daughter, who dropped dead shortly after she insisted my parents move into assisted living near her. Now, I am supposed to drive 3 hours every time my mom has something go wrong? That would be once a week. My older sister won't do it either. Trust me when I tell you, I know more than you do. I'm just not a doormat and I'm not histrionic over every thing that happens to my mother. Intelligent people understand this.[/quote]
