What is going on? On top of my other woes I now have a bit of a problem with the Doctors
MIL has had a urine infection and has had 2 lots of antibiotics. As requested I have tested her urine this morning, a week after she finished the last lot of antibiotics. It is still testing positive for nitrates and leukocytes so called first thing to speak to community nurse. She's on annual leave so duty Dr called.
He said that all people in her age group have bacteria in their urine and we don't treat it unless she has a temperature or is out of sorts. I said she hasn't got a temperature and who knows if she's out of sorts as she's all over the place at the moment, is that dementia or uti????
Can't really get my head around not treating her, talked to the care home when I took her to daycare who couldn't understand his reasoning.
Have now called again and asked for our own GP to call. This won't be until Monday so will just have to wait and see. I'm away Saturday morning til Monday night so Himself will have to deal with whatever the weekend throws up. I'll be in York playing with granddaughters
