Definitely DON'T stop her drinking liquids. Worst thing you can do because they get dehydrated and the medications cause them to have delusions, etc. and then they will soon be refusing to drink. My MIL God rest her soul was incontinent for years and I took care of her & FIL. As soon as she would decide she didn't need to drink here came a bladder infection. Started to get looney and all sorts of other things. So keep on with liquids--water is most important, cranberry juice for protection against bladder infections works too. she drank a glass of that every morning. Wish she was still here, but they have been gone for 12 yrs her and 11 yrs him. We used the chux and the overnight brand of depends--got them by the case --UPS would deliver them right to the door. Every once in a whhile I see them advertised in the coupons that come with the Sunday paper.
