It is difficult for people to accept what they cannot control and it is important to try and help them deal with it in a way that causes the least amount of humiliation. However, as a caregiver it is difficult. There are some things you just have to down play to help them keep their dignity. You just have to be careful to keep her clean, as it is easy to develop urinary tract infections that become recurrent. Symptoms may only be present for a day. One of the common side effects of the infection is a dilirium. Good luck to you. I hope this was helpful.
