I wondered before you mentioned it, if that was the case.<br /><br />Try and take small moments of calm for yourself throughout the day, hard I know when so much is happening, but somewhere in it all of your hectic days you have to look after yourself too.herhimnbrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01182397064631016552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-29853993143400771932011-11-06T00:38:43.063+00:002011-11-06T00:38:43.063+00:00UTI's will make the elderly act irrational; fo...UTI's will make the elderly act irrational; found that out when my Dad was suffering from Alzheimers.

Those urinary infections do incredibly odd things to people, things that you would never believe were connected to an infection. Here's hoping your mother is over the worst now - and look after yourself, too. Remember the 'oxygen mask on the plane principle' - you can't help the others if you don't make sure you're ok first.
