Generally, with a 90-something person, you don't want to cut down liquids, as the very elderly often dehydrate quickly. Dehydration leads to bladder infections. My mom used to get bladder infections because she wouldn't drink. She didn't even know she had the infections. The odor of her urine was unbelievably strong and offensive when she had a bladder infection, so we knew when she had one and took her to the Dr. She, however, didn't know she had the infection. Apparently the bladder nerves were shot - which is probably why she was incontinent.[/quote]
That is the same situation with my mother. She has to drink a lot of water, which she hates, to prevent the bladder infections. Sort of a catch 22 situation.
