Stay safe Janet!

Gary has the same problem with his blood pressure going real low when he stands up but he is strong enough to balance himself and grab on to something to keep from falling.

Sorry you have to deal with the carpet. Sounds like she might have to go back on the Vancomycin. I have a friend who is dealing with an elderly father in Florida who has chronic diarrhea from C-Diff, is extremely weak, and is on Vancomycin. The problem is that her mom is NUTS and won't care for him at home and just leaves him sitting on the porta potty for hours becasue he too, has accidents and she won't clean it up. He ended up back in the hospital and was discharged today. My friend called the social worker the first of the week and they got him into rehab, because clearly he can't go home. I don't know what is going to happen when his rehab days are up. It's a bad situation.
