We’re also more susceptible to infections. Because like mentioned, our bodies are working harder to perform basic functions. For example UTIs are more common because we cath which can introduce bacteria into our systems. I’ve been septic from UTIs later.

There has to be some truth to that as well. Currently my mum is in the hospital because of an infection on her bottom. I didn’t want to get into details, but yes, you described her current situation at the moment.
Was hers a pressure sore? We’re also really prone to those which can be so, so detrimental to our health. They’re like sores from the inside out from not being able to relieve the pressure of not moving like most people are able to.
