They've been unable to knock out the UTI (after 4+ weeks). He says he's in pain, due to catheterization. He is not able to get around on his own -- had used a walker prior to breaking his arm -- so clearly he can't come home. I think he should be in hospital for UTI treatment, but with Covid 19, don't know if that's possible. Any suggestions?
My dad was catheterized after breaking his hip. It took literally 6 months to be able to remove that catheter because he was unable to fully empty his bladder as well. In his case, it was due to age (91) more than anything else. Once a man gets catheterized, it can take an act of God to get rid of it, seems to me.
If he's refusing PT & OT, then yes, Medicare will stop paying for rehab. Are you able/willing to take him back home? If not, can the SNF keep him there in the long term care section? Can you get a hospice evaluation for him since he's clearly giving up now?
Sending you a big hug and some prayers for the best possible outcome here, whatever that may be. Stay strong and take care of YOURSELF now, too, okay?
