Well, this is unfortunate. Lately, my stepmom has had a rash of UTIs. She had one last year we thought was a stroke. She got dizzy, started losing vision in one eye…a visit to the ER showed it to be a UTI. I posted about that in Mylot, and I had a Mylotter tell me those weren’t symptoms of a UTI. Do a little research lady! As we get older, the symptoms change!
She had one last week, and these antibiotics aren’t working since she’s still dizzy. My dad is taking her to the doctor in the morning, for hopefully more help. She’s not in pain, but we’re hoping she’s not dizzy on the trip.
She drinks cranberry juice like crazy, drinks water like crazy…we don’t know what the deal is.

Thats a little furstrating. I do all the things to prevent uti too. I would be cursing doctors at her point. Give her a hug for me. Praying

Oh wow…and right before the big trip. I’m sure glad he is taking her in the morning. I hope it isn’t serious.

I do know that UTI's can present with stroke symptoms in some people, that happened to my own stepmother years ago.

Oh my days , what a worry. I hope the Dr can help, and that she will be well enough to go on your trip.

@JohnRoberts I wrongly assumed everyone had had one in their life. And also, forgive me. I automatically assumed you were like The Horse. He routinely pretends he doesn’t know something for whatever reasons he comes up with. You’re far more dignified to do that to a person.

@AmbiePam Seriously, I didn't know. I don't pay attention to medical jargon.

Sorry to hear that. I am sure going through all of that is very frustrating. Hopefully she'll feel better soon and not get dizzy on the trip.

@AmbiePam That's a good question, not sure why they wouldn't.

I pray she’s okay and can make the trip. My sis-in-law passed out and it was a UTI. Getting old ain’t for sissies!
