How can we keep my elderly grandmother (who has alzheimer's) in bed at night?

best baby monitor for elderly image

We need a safe way to keep her from getting out of bed. She's broken 2 bones in the past 6 months due to getting up at night and slipping on the hardwood floors. Sleeping medication is out of the question, and we already have bed rails, a baby monitor, and motion detector.

Answer
Unfortunately in most nursing homes they have to use restraints to prevent elderly people from getting up and injuring themselves.

Is salmonella something i should really be concerned about?

Gigi

I have a baby pet turtle. The other day i was siphoning his tank and i got some water in my mouth. I quickly spit, brushed my teeth, and used mouth wash...but is it possible that this could be a cause of salmonella? I woke up feeling sick. I've had diarrhea and continuous stomach pain. That's it though. Should i be really concerned and go to the hospital?

Answer
Turtles very often carry Salmonella. Usually, Salmonella does go away on its own though, so give yourself some time. And very often it is not treated with antibiotics even if you do go to a doctor.

Occasionally though, the Salmonella infection is severe and sometimes people do wind up in the hospital (usually the elderly or the very young).

Monitor how you are feeling and if it lasts longer than a few days or you develop blood in the stool, then go see a doctor.
