It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

@annanell brought up kidney stone and I replied down the thread that that is an intriguing possibility this time, due to negative culture growth and DH’s history of uric acid stones and gout - both of which have been controlled with medication up until we moved and changed pcps. I’ve sent a message to the np. Thanks again annanell.
I do know I can’t seem to get him to wake up in the morning since he’s been on it……
You could ask the pharmacist, they always seem to know the most.
We finally have internet after almost a week! Thank you all for your responses. DH has been on Keflex (same drug but a higher dose than last time) for almost a week and physical symptoms have disappeared but mental symptoms persist. It was a rocky road - a lot of emotional upset, sleep disruption (more than usual) and today he thinks I am his sister. I am not alarmed, just sad and resigned.
Another week, another sample, and we’ll be able to tell if the antibiotics weren’t strong enough or not prescribed for long enough each time to knock out the bugs, or if we need to look deeper for something else going on. Thank you for your support.
I did some caregiving for elders with Alzheimer's, the one thing that hit me was, they may forget exactly who you are, but the heart never forgets!
I spent 24-48 hours with this one lady, if when someone came to relieve me that she didn't know her anxiety would go up, a lot, but when one of her regular girls came in, she would look at them , and say who are you, but her whole demener was relaxed and welcoming. Nothing like the ones she didn't know.
So just remember, the heart never forgets! 😥
I'm so glad you found us, to share your journey with us.
My boyfriend got a UTI in his late 50's. It was extremely painful. They never determined a cause. He now chugs cranberry juice to help prevent them.
That may not be the answer.
Be certain microscopic is being done here, because you are correct this is a bit unusual in men. The bacteria may not all be being killed if he isn't taking the antibiotic regularly and ALL of them. He may be STRENGTHENING the bacteria by it being either the wrong antibiotic or not taking all of it.
Good luck, P.
I will also ask about micro. I know his primary is concerned about this and it’s all in his chart so maybe this will spur a sooner appointment than his regularly scheduled one in March (!) We’re really careful about taking the ABX as directed.
Thanks, Alva.
But it wouldn't hurt anything.
Being younger, if I feel a UTI coming on I flush my body for days with water and cranberry juice. And it works for me anyways.
It should be the unsweetened cranberry juice, good brand too. Ocean spray.
Just to reiterate, by no means do I mean not to see a urologist. That's utmost important.
No one has ever recommended any form of preventative but you can bet this time I’m going to ask.
