Hullo again all you lovely people.
Just when my SAD lamp, fresh air and support was getting us back on an even keel C has had a big problem with her kidneys. At first I thought pain killers and rest would help it settle, but it is an infection with possible complications. Nothing to do with Dementia really, but she had blood tests booked for today and I foolishly thought if she could get by until then with paracetemol the surgery would answer her questions. No chance. The doctor has definitely diagnosed a UTI which may be affecting the kidneys more than usual, but heart rate is worrying.
Pain is bad enough, but with the confusion of dementia, well I'm rambling now as well. The good news is that C is in a quitter area in A & E with a door, so the noise and hubbub is not getting to her as badly as last couple of times. That's a positive to hold on to. Back in after omelette and chips, thank you for reading my jumbled thoughts.
