DH had a partial amputation of his foot due to gangrene (caused by peripheral artery disease). He is not yet supposed to walk on his foot and I have someone with him 24/7 at sub-acute rehab. He will be going back to MC next week. How do I prevent him from getting up in the middle of the night to pee, forgetting about the amputation? He has already fallen once and fractured his hand….

    I would talk to MC about this. They have some experience with the problem with other patients.

    I would talk to the MC facility. They may need to put diapers on him and give him medication for sleep. Or he will need 24/7 care which MC facilities don’t usually provide.
