Evening All
Dad is at A&E for the second time in 2 weeks. He has had a catheter over 8 months now, he does fiddle with it from time to time and he has had urine infections before however, last week he had blood in his bag which kept him in hospital for a night ( he wouldn't let anybody near to check blood pressure or reinsert the catheter and started to strip off), eventually a catheter was replaced and he was sent back to the Assessment Centre with antibiotics for an infection. He is back at A&E again tonight this time there are concerns over the amount of fluid in catheter bag, it has been mentioned before that his bladder goes into retention. Has anyone any info on this? Is it due to Dad's illness or are there other reasons?
Thanks for any info
