Thanks for sharing! It's comforting to know its normal. He did do compency test and got 24 out of 30 and was deemed competent. He also had a cat scan or MRI of his head to see was any abnormalities in his brain. Everything looked normal. We are keeping track of his delusions still thou.Just fyi, my mom had delusions in hospital fairly often. Doctor told me it's normal with older folks. She'd snap out when she came home.
@zoo mom, do you know why they do that?
Some of are quite detailed. He has a potassium deficiency and takes pills for it. One night in the hospital he thought he was dying because he was low in potassium. He swears a nurse saved his life by playing Beatles music to him. He said Beatles music can increase your potassium levels if one certain note is played every 10 seconds. It's new treatment apparently Right now it seems like he can't tell dreams form reality. It's sad but also slightly humorous at times. As My mom likes to say sometimes if don't laugh you cry.
Unfortunately I think he'll never be able to come back home. Not when he's bed ridden and can barely look after himself. I know he's deeply depressed because of that. But there's no way me and my mom would be able to provide the around the clock care that he needs. It's very difficult
