You can find it in this article.I tired to find that picture on the Daily Mail's website but could not Where is it? Thanks!
Is there anyone here who is a medical professional and knows if it is common to have such a long hospitalization for a bladder infection? I'm feeling very concerned. Perhaps it is common when a person is in his nineties?
I'm not a medical professional, but I know from experience that such infections can recur if they aren't treated promptly. An acquaintance of mine had a father who was hospitalized and developed a recurring UTI. He was set to be discharged numerous times, and each time his infection came back. Then when he finally came home, he started showing symptoms of an infection within two weeks because he take his fluids.
Hopefully Philip won't be as ornery and lets his wife and kids fuss over his health when he gets home.
Infections can become more problematic for the eldery. Their immune systems aren't as robust and administered treatment often requires generous time frames. As a precaution the elderly are often kept under observation so ensure their health is well restored.
I think this shows the absolute dedication of the Duke to his wife and his country. He must have felt rough on the day of the pageant though you'd never know it by his smile and his remarkable effort. Still boggles the mind why they'd think it was a good idea to put a (nearly) 91 year old man on a boat in the pouring rain and wind but there we are. I hope HRH gets better very very soon.
Oh absolutely. He did seem to love it, in fact I think he was more excited than the Queen was! I don't want to sound all 'health and safety' but I think both the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh have to try and slow down! But we know from other sources that they've no intention of taking it easy whatever their age now. Which is great actually.
Thena said:So it's been interesting to finally watch the CTV interview with Andrew conducted last Friday. At one point, he's asked about Philip's health and assures the interviewer that Philip is in excellent health and fully recovered from his heart scare. Then Andrew goes on to say that everyone will see on Sunday just how good Philip is doing.
Either this bladder infection came out of nowhere, or Andrew really doesn't know what's going on with his father.

It has been often reported that the Duke of York is closest to Her Majesty.Is Prince Andrew the Queen’s favorite Son ?
He was determined to celebrate his 91st birthday on Sunday at home with his family. But it seems that the Duke of Edinburgh faces spending the day in hospital, as he continues to recover from a bladder infection. Buckingham Palace said he might not be discharged by Sunday despite the Duke of York's assurance this week that his father was on the mend. Philip had been planning to celebrate privately and was not due to attend his next scheduled engagement until Tuesday, when the Queen hosts a garden party at the Sandringham Estate to mark her Diamond Jubilee.
