I asked for prayers on here the first time my father went to the ER. He got better then came back home and after a week or so, he had the same issues again (UTI) as the antibiotics he took at home, didn't work. He went back for the 2nd time and I was occupied most of the time and didn't ask for prayers that time around. I don't know why I didn't ask for prayers, I guess I got really occupied as I was spending less time on here and everything else in general so I can focus on the matter on hand.
First time to the ER led to him staying at a nursing home for 2 weeks, came back home for about a week then back to the ER to get the UTI cleared up. Went to a different nursing home and he apparently got better after 2 weeks.
2 days ago, my father came back home and now he's having a hard time controlling his bowels and bladder as he soiled himself twice so far. He said this wasn't happening to him when he was at the nursing home so he don't know why it is happening now that he's back home.
Right now he's saying he isn't in any kind of pain but just have this general discomfort in his groin area so I'm just hoping this is due to a change in "scenery" for him -- being away from home for almost 2 months then coming back home to real food, not "hospital food" and it shocked his body to the point where he couldn't control his bowels.
I'm just hoping it's nothing serious this time around but I really need a break mentally and physically after being occupied with this for the last 2 months. But I'm equally worried with what's happening so far in general, as we're getting close to June 1st and I'm not even sure if we are fully prepared. I've been following some stuff here but I still don't know the full story on everything so I just hope we all will be fine, especially with my father being away from home if SHTF for real this time.
Thanks all.
Prayers friend!
NEVER TELL the patient that people are praying for their recovery. A multimillion dollar science paper proved DEFINITIVELY that being aware of others praying for you HARMS HEALING DRAMATICALLY.
The paper was massive and well done. Prayer can and does harm surgical recovery in heart patients.
NEVER TELL A PATIENT people are actively praying.
As for efficacy... the paper showed no efficacy, only the massive anti-efficacy I mentioned.
The universe is a strange place, so many factors could come into play on wishful thinking and not be readily dismissed though.
ok... I still stand by what I said.
Thanks
Amen. What was the quality of that multimillion dollar science paper?
A bunch of crap lol.
top quality us funded, well created testing trials. It is now a easily provable and reproduceable fact that prayer dramatically harms patients. Its probably from stress and worry in the patient.
prayer dramatically harms patients
I know you always tell them that they don't look bad , or I've seen much worse, car wrecks and such. A true believer will be happy to get some prayers.
Hey minion, where’s ur sauce?
Go trust the science elsewhere.
Pfffffttttt….😂😂😂😂😂
PS perhaps it was one done in 2006 on bypass patients. It showed very little effect for three groups. One group which was informed they were being prayed for had 59% complications to the 53% complications of two groups who weren't certain if they were prayed for. This is not dramatic harm. It is probably not even statistically significant. Lots of caveats in this study both medical and religious. Of course the NYT was on it.

Bowel and bladder control loss are signs of stroke. And you don't have to have the droopy face and weird speech to have had a stroke or TIA. I'm sorry to be the one, but he should probably be checked. It will be found in a CT, but only after 48 hrs. Same with MRI. Praying for you all.
Also!
A deficiency in vitamin D puts you at a high risk of experiencing pelvic muscle floor disorders like fecal incontinence.
Yes. Spinal tumors as well can cause loss isolated bowel and bladder problems
Prayers on the way fren.
Prayers for you and your dad. It is hard - take care of yourself.
Praying right now
May God help both of you in your time of need.
In your son's name Jesus Christ.
Amen.
Amen.
🙏🙏❤️🙏🙏 May the peace of God enfold you and yours.
Prayers sent. 🙏🏻
I went through a horrific experience with my father contracting C diff. in the hospital a couple years back. If your father’s feces are at all yellowish, mucus-y or especially foul smelling please have it tested. It causes cramping as well. C diff is rampant in hospitals and utterly devastating to the elderly. It can only be cured by vancomycin or fecal transplant. Sorry to give you another thing to worry about but I’ve kinda made it my mission to spread awareness of it after what we went through.
May God bless your dad and your family with his healing.
Praying for dad.
Prayers now... hugs and love
Praying now for your father and family. May God bless all of you.
Problems in the lower back can affect nerves, muscles, etc. that control the bowels. Consider visiting a chiropractor.
Prayers sent, fren.
FWIW my father has had similar issues, recurrent UTIs, hospital and nursing home stays over the last few months so I can say from personal experience, that "change of scenery" can make a difference in bodily functions. If that is the cause it will return to normal over time. Also, if they never did a urine culture, you might check into have that done. My father finally recovered after they did a culture and found MRSA and got him on the proper antibiotic.
May God grant you peace of mind and wisdom to know the best course of action and may He extend His healing grace to your father.🙏
Will do.
Prayers going out for your dad to heal up fast.
🙏
Prayers for your dad's healing and for your peace of mind.
He'll be in my prayers.
Was thinking about you and your dad. Still praying that you're both okay and that no news is good news. 🙏🙏
Prayers for your father and family.
Corn silk and D-Mannose
Look into those
And...
I've also heard one of the B vitamins has something to do with a leaky bladder...was it B12? I forget in the moment.
I will pray for him!
Prayers sent my fren.
I got ya, brother.
God's word says,"in everything by prayer and supplication" it's not complicated either we believe God or we believe science. Choose you this day whom you will serve!
Some things to try:
-Probiotics like yogurts to help his system recover from the antibiotics.
-Coconut oil, 2 TBS per day to help with brain and nervous system
-Colloidal Silver, immune system booster recommendation, was about 10 sprays twice per day into mouth for the one I've used, to help with recovery
-Ginger, helps with infections and things in your stomach. Haven't found any that doesn't use aspertime as a preservative but it still has knocked out stomach bugs and diarrhea.
-Ivermechtine possibly? It may be that he has a build up of parasites.
I'm no doctor or naturopath, but I don't think anything would cause issues with any of the other recommendations, so the shotgun effect may work. Need to check with interactions/possible conflicts with medicines though. I think either coconut or ginger could possibly do that with some things.
