Birthday boy

Well George's birthday yesterday went to the hospice took some cakes, he opened a few presents, I left to come home at 1.30 to get ready to go back with all the children at 4 o'clock, phone call from the hospice saying George was unwell, taking him to hospital, this is how I saw him when he arrived at the hospital, he looked really bad. His catheter was blocked, never seen so much blood come out when they unblocked it. He had to stay in hospital, arrived here after picking up his things from hospice, he was talking rubbish, was rather upset that I had left him last night at 11.30. This morning he looks unwashed, but have cleaned him up, they said he can go home. It was rather a horrible birthday, so let the celebrations being today. Waiting for them to give him an injection and antibiotics and we are going home πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸ˜πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

Y.

I'm a relative newcomer and may not know key info about George's background and condition.

So, my immediate question would be: why the blood? Did he have recent surgery? Is he on an anti-coagulent for heart or stroke preventive reasons? In most cases I know about (including in my own past history), a hospital would not release a patient with an unresolved bleeding issue.

Hemorrhages and UTI's, of course, are not part of PSP or other Parkinsonian conditions. However, in too many cases, they sadly can be the result of inattention or carelessness among carers of such neuro patients, whether institutional or personal providers of care.

Wishing the best for George, you, and his loved ones.

The blood was from the catheter which was blocked, with a blood clot, he was diagnosed in 2014 with PSP, bloody horrible illness xxxx

You will have to have a chat with him Yvonne, surely there is a limitation on how many things a guy can have wrong with him.

Sending big hugs and much love to you both, hope he feels a bit better very soon.

Lots of love
