Hi all,
This seems like a great community and I'm sure it will be of great support to myself and my family over the next year or so. My name is Lloyd - my step dad suffered from a hemorrhage on Sunday night. He was taken to Swindon's hospital and then rushed to oxford's John Radcliffe. He was sedated for two days, but in the end didn't require surgery. He was moved out of intensive care today to he normal ward.
He's been awake now since Wednesday and is completely independent other than a bit of oxygen and blood pressure medicines. His physical mobility is fine - no difficulty with any of that, which is great! The only thing that concerned us today was his mental state, he thought we were in the year 1980 something, and the London Olympics were held in 1957 (the year of his birth).
I suppose what I'm looking for is your stories over how you or your family member has improved from this confused state of mind. Or even the difficulties you've had with the confusion.
It's quite difficult seeing a loved one get something so obvious so completely wrong.
Thank you so much,
Lloyd
