After all the worry in April about my partner C having a UTI in April after 2 at the end of March she has another one. She woke up this morning not knowing who she is, where her family are and why she lives where we live. Her face looked a bit down on one side, so I called 999. The Ambulance people were so lovely and reassuring when they saw me not sure whether to be worried or guilty. The care worker stayed for an hour and a quarter, despite the allotted time being half an hour, and gave the paramedics more info than my addled brain could manage. She can be a nuisance sometimes as she comes at the wrong times and sometimes gets a bit bossy despite knowing C has dementia, but she is treasure.
The doctors suggested Oestrogen cream before changing that due to C having had breast cancer, so we may have to go back to low level preventative Anti Biotics which did work 6 years or so ago after 8 UTIs in 9 months or something like that sent her into a seizure.
Thanks for reading and if in doubt always check for a UTI and never worry about calling 999 as the ambulance service are so kind they wont let you feel guilty about over reacting.
