Thank you @fyrqueen Katie and @wattleihavenext Julie -- getting older definitely is not for sissies and when it's your parents, it really is tough.

Katie, sounds like your DH is really doing better -- hopefully clearing up the UTI will be a real help. Are you familiar with the Beers Criteria Medication List (named for a Dr. Beers)? It lists potentially inappropriate medications for the elderly. https://www.dcri.org/beers-criteria-medication-list/ The doctor at the acute facility told me about it. It is a shame that there just aren't enough nurses and aides at these facilities. (My mom hired a private duty overnight aide for my dad at the sub-acute facility.) And I understand exactly how your DH is reacting -- some of the people at the facilities are so sad to see and hear. I am so sorry your are both going through this. Wishing you strength and love and lots more quality time with your DH!!!
