This house is... clear." A line perfectly delivered with Southern flair by Zelda Rubinstein in Poltergeist (1982) popped into my mind as I looked at the urine in Dad's collection bag this morning.
Dad has a UTI... again. I think it's the same UTI he had months ago, that the VA geriatric center treated with antibiotics, and then still had when the Home-Based Primary Care program took over and treated with another round of antibiotics. It didn't work, apparently. Now, this week we have a new 10-day round of antibiotics. After a few days of using it, I see today the urine is yellow and clear after overnight collection for the first time in a long time.
So, I felt in the mood to share this—and the image.
Some days are better days than others. Caregiving isn’t glamorous, but sometimes a movie quote sneaks in at just the right moment to keep you going. Today, we take the win.
