recently i posted about some unusual behaviors my DH was exhibiting, delirium, lethargy, weakness. We nrought a urine specimen to the lab and he indeed, did have a UTI,.{thank you, Ed} He was on 750 mg of Levaquin for 5 days, and had no side effects from the drug. He is so much bettter, has more energy and is not hallucinating. Just a reminder to all, including myself, to always check for UTI. They are insidious.

Happy 4th to all,

Maureen
