Verdun, it may be that she is scared or in pain, and unable to express herself properly, it comes out as aggression. If she is properly looked after, it may settle down. MIL was like that when she had an infection and dehydration, She assaulted ambulancemen, nurses and doctors. When she came home and had people gently coaxing her to drink and eat, she was nice as pie. She used to get agitated at the TV as she couldn't distinguish between fact and fiction. She thought it was all real. She broke two tellys throwing things at bad men. We resorted to carefully selected DVD's
Also she had one of those dolls that look like real babies. If she was agitated, the carers would give the"baby" to her to nurse and she would croon lullabies.
Knowing that she will never be 100% again is hard. I think Nursing care is probably what is needed long term. It is easier than getting her settled in a residential home and then having to move her to somwhere new later on.
Sorry to hear about your mum verdun, sometimes it can be the side effects of medication. Or has anything out of sequence happened with your mum as this could affect her.
Verdun, your mum will probably settle down when she is in the right place, as others have said, the rigid routines of hospital can be too much when you feel ill
Gran, obviously investigation is needed, but surely if it was a muscle wasting disease, it wouldnt dissolve one muscle in isolation would it? I wonder if there was more fluid or similar that stopped it being seen? Will keep my fingers crossed it was just someones mistake
Verdin ((hugs)) as others have said there are a lot of changes happening for your mother just now and as her ability to reason things out is waning it will be very confusing and frightening for her. Once she is somewhere with consistent routines and also where she is occupied I'm sure she will settle.
lily, hope your friend continues to improve, and also hope that Gran's worries turn out to be not too worrying, if you get mY meaning.

Lyn,aspirin is not supposed to be used as treatment for AF in place of warfarin.
If he doesn't want to take "rat poison" whuch needs regular blood tests and interacts with a lot of other medicines, there are newer drugs which NICE has now approved , such as Rivaroxaban
The scan has showed a lump that is pressing on the kidney stopping it working. She is having a biopsy tomorrow and they have asked me to be there. Do they get results of that straight away, does anyone know please?

Glad to hear that your friend is now out of hospital lily and that her sight has not been affected. Hopefully she will continue to recover well.
Thinking of you and your Mum Verdun. Hope all goes well tomorrow.

Fidget my dad has AF so the tiny dose apirin was to thin the blood, doc wanted him on warfarin but dad said he wasnt taking rat poison.
Mum is still in hospital.
Lily, I am pleased your friend is home, they get no rest in the hospital, my mum is so tired, something happening every hour!
Mum has lived with her stoma for 10 years, but it is difficult getting the food right, not to mention extra liquids.
Verdun - I'm sorry to hear that my friend. Your poor Mum bless her but this must be so hard for you too.
SGL - I'm glad your friend is a bit better.Hopefully she will be on the road to recovery.
Gran - I'm hoping for a good outcome to your situation.
Lyn - you really have a lot on your shoulders don't you,please know I'm thinking of you and your family.
Mrs F is in a lot of pain with her crohns. I really,really hope this isn't another hospital stay. We will likely see the GP tomorrow.

if he has AF it must be treated, but not with aspirin. Get him to talk to his doctor.
