As I posted recently in this threád, my mother was in the hospital for a UTI and was discharged to a skilled nursing facility for physical therapy. She has been there about ten days and doing pretty well. Still with memory issues but getting stronger and adjusting to her surroundings. She is supposed to be evaluated this week to see if she could go home or needs more rehab.
This morning I got a call that she is displaying seizure like activity and is in a different mental state. They sent her to the ER which is where we are now. It sounds like something we have seen before. Periods when she is relatively ok interspersed with extreme confusion. I always suspected it was seizure related. I'm glad someone else saw it. Maybe we can get some answers. Sigh. Happy new year

My basic function is to advocate for more morphine etc. every time the nurses come in.
Wrote the obit today at his bedside.
