Mum in Hospital

Sorry, I wrongly just assumed the infection was a uti. I hope your mum recovers soon. Have you spoken to the consultant ? Asked for the diagnosis and treatment plan?

LemonJelly Ask the doctors to test your mum for Sepsis.

It's an infection in her knee, not a UTI. Would this be the same thing to cause the deterioration??
She on ABs but completely delusional

If I had a rough time frame I could manage everything better. I am a little scared of her MH at the minute. She's a clever woman and still works in a good job.

Not sure if it was a UTI, I think it was a small stroke, but my mum was doolally in hospital, but once she came home she started to become her normal self again. I think she was totally disorientated away from her usual routine.

Oh gosh yes! My Mum who otherwise seemed well, was in another world….complete fantasy when she had UTIs. Hopefully the ABs will work but maybe ask why they are not prescribing something stronger which would work faster.

Confusion is normal with uti s. It will be ok once the @ntibiotics work. She will need to keep well hydrated which should avoid uti problems in future. Don’t worry.

Yes, I agree with the Posters. UTI's are well known for causing this. Once cured she could be back to normal.
Good luck.

My mother was the same. Completely Doo-lally when she had a UTI.

Common symptom of UTIs- once the a/b's kick in, she'll be fine

Had the same with my mother, just talking rubbish and not really making any sense, turns out she had a urine infection After a course of antibiotics it cleared up and she was back to her usual self.

Infections, especially UTIs, can cause this. This often lasts longer than the infection.
