Title: the urge to pee.....
Post by: Rann on August 08, 2009, 08:16:06 AM

My dad who is on the cycler has recently started having the urge to pee several times during the night. Previously he had peed successfully tiny amounts 2-3 times a night with no problems. We have just been on the cycler for a month, and he had finally gotten to the point where he was sleeping thru the night. After a hospital stay for a fall, he came home with increased dementia and increased blood pressure. He is now wetting the bed, not making it to the bathroom on time, and/or trying, but not peeing.

Any suggestions to get him back on track?

That could be a sign of a urinary tract infection. Also the increaesed dementia is a sign. I have a friend that can tell when her Mom has one just by how she acts.
