I believe we have tried every antibiotic and a medicine to also change the acidity (?) in her urine that should have lessened or stopped the UTIs. She's great otherwise after her stroke. I have read after a massive stroke, UTIs are typical, but will this ultimately be what takes her?
I mentioned the wiping to the RAs at her assisted living so we removed her wipes so she won't forget and wipe herself while waiting on them to assist her from the bathroom, and I explained to her why. She just wanted to make it clear she could and I assured her we know, just knocking out every possibility.
Thing is, she had the UTI, before she started wiping herself. I am co deemed it may have come on after the catheter when she had the stroke 18 months ago.
We go to the Urologist again Thursday and he may try a sulfer drug. I'm not sure we have tried those. Fingers crossed!!
So get her a faucet bidet and some baby butt wipes.
