UTIs can lead to major confusion in seniors, so don't let that scare you TOO much -- it usually clears right up once the infection's been treated

Yeah trying to remember that

I keep having this horrible feeling and really don't know what I'm going to do if the worst happens. Mom and I just got on better terms and everything and I don't think she grasps that I don't hate her
on hiatus
2023-09-25T00:28:18.000Z
brain stupidly fixated on what if I don't get the chance to help her fully understand I've forgiven her for everything

I'm sure she can already feel that love

I'm having to basically be stern and keep her in bed whenever the doctors leave
Xae️‍ ️‍🌈
2023-09-25T01:01:48.000Z
yeah, that can happen after a stroke - having to be the stern child telling her "no"

might be dozing off even

So many tests being done and they're finally moving faster

good, hopefully they can do something for her

I was straight up about to go off over how long we were just sitting there with no answers

CAT scan done and the ppl there outright asked if she has a history of dementia

she... can't stay responsive for longer than 3 seconds at a time now

Ooof. Fingers crossed that will be temporary.

I knew going home would be tough for you, but I never imagined it would take this turn. I wish you got to reconcile with her while she was in a better mental state, but from what I've heard so far - your actions probably reach her better than words right now. You helped her find some relief from being bitten, and you're there at her side now.

nurse who was looking a bit judge-y that I couldn't remember any of her meds suddenly looked like she understood heh

god yeah, 20 meds is a lot

They're admitting her thankfully

2023-09-25T04:59:17.000Z
I don't want her in that house while like this and with bedbugs still being treated

seriously, staying in the hospital will be better

She won't wake up beyond maybe opening her eyes a brief moment. Isn't responding to communication attempts
on hiatus
2023-09-25T06:52:44.000Z
She's physically responsive to firm enough touches so it's not a coma or anything
on hiatus
2023-09-25T06:53:04.000Z
She is just worryingly sleeping nonstop

But it's also not just dementia.

Yeah
on hiatus
2023-09-25T06:53:47.000Z
I've given them a more thorough list of health issues now that I'm thinking clearer

2023-09-25T06:54:18.000Z
You have mentioned the bed bugs?
on hiatus
2023-09-25T06:54:45.000Z
They have her in a very nice room and the nurse very eagerly helped me by getting me fed bc I was legit crying from being hungry and not having money for the vending machine heh...

zandroid: Yes! we made extra sure every nurse knows

I was so scared of spreading that here
on hiatus
2023-09-25T06:55:22.000Z
They got all her stuff put into special bags
on hiatus
2023-09-25T06:55:34.000Z
And we checked ourselves a tenth or so time
BruberryMuffin
2023-09-25T06:55:45.000Z
Well, that and if they were biting her, it's a thing to know healthwise.
on hiatus
2023-09-25T06:56:05.000Z
Most of her stuff went into our trunk and we're dusting the car the moment we're back home
on hiatus
2023-09-25T06:56:14.000Z
Oh yes I showed them every bite
on hiatus
2023-09-25T06:56:54.000Z
Since they apparently missed that due to it being mostly around her ankles and the rare one on her arm
