Hi, I'm reaching out to hear from anybody that has experienced problems during the night with a relative that has a permanent catheter. My father has been diagnosed with Althzhiemers recently, he is constantly getting UTI's and is in and out of hospital. During the evening his mood changes and he becomes very troubled and anxious - his focus is on the catheter and he's up wandering around; most night my Mom (83, who cares for him) gets up to urine in the bed and all over the house where he has messed with the tap. He no longer has a night bag as it's dangerous, forgetting it's attached to him, so he has a day bag attached to his leg.He's constantly irritated and confused by the bag, he's cut it off, ripped it out and many nights calls out ambulances. Has anybody experienced similar and if so have you found any better solutions to either get this out of his mind or a better device? The Althzhiemers is something we are able to cope with, but the catheter is all consuming for him and my Mom can't cope.
Thanks
Thanks
