Can anyone shed and light on the following, sorry its a long post.
My 84 yr old Mum fell in the garden, couldn't get up and said she had laid there for at least 30 mins, but when I got to her she was insistent that she didnt need to visit A&E, said she was fine. She had blacked her eye, sore ribs, ankle and wrist.
I week later after as she was still suffering from her ribs I insisted on taking her to A&E. She was admitted and it was found she had a pulmonary embolism.
She has been released from hospital but has started to see and hear things that are not there, she is seeing my Dad lying behind the settee for all he has been dead for almost 3 yrs. He and my SIster have been behind the chair putting on wall paper and when I questioned the fact she insisted I come and feel the wet paint. She is worried that my Dad will go outside and what will the neighbours think as they know hes dead... then whispers to me that he doesn't realise hes dead.
This week things are worse, we insisted on taking her to the Dr who did standard memory test which she passed with flying colours so not sure what I need to be asking the Dr's to be checking,
I don't think its Alzheimer's...but I may be wrong.
She lives alone.
I have just driven the 25 mins to her house as she rang me and my phone was on silent as I was in a meeting, 5 mins after the call tried to ring her back and phone was engaged, continued ringing for 40 mins and still engaged so I jumped in the car(she wont talk to anyone for more than a few minutes on the phone) after repeatedly trying to ring her on the way over still engaged, 2 mins from her house I tried again and she answer and insisted she hadnt been on the phone so I turned around and came home as she would have been upset as to why I turned up at 10pm.
I am at my wits end, I am worried that she may have a had a clot on her brain and maybe causing small strokes and its been overlooked.
Any advise please.
