...on everything.
One of the daily struggles is making my father drink enough so his catheter doesn't clog up again. Despite being told this by various consultant urologists, GPs and nurses etc. and being read the advice in his catheter passport, he is still "not sure" that he needs to drink that much. He would like to read some advice on how much to drink. I could obtain this information for him but considering he considers the complexity of his clock radio akin to piloting the space shuttle, I don't hold out much hope for it sinking in.
It's fewer trips upstairs to the toilet for me with the "Big Ol' Jug O' Wee" when he's dehydrated but I'd rather get my steps in than have to drive him to A&E again.
He's always been like this, mind. He will pontificate on a subject of which he has no training and is utterly closed to accepting evidence to the contrary. His father, apparently, told him that Vitamin C was good for a cold. Despite there being studies debunking this, he will not be swayed. All part of the charm
