I posted earlier re uncle tom's re-occurring chest infections and the faliure of acnowledgement by s/s.
Sorry but i still have a bee in my bonnet over this. I really cant belive s/s can be so laid back when they know this is apparantly a BIG prob which hinders assesments. I cant understand why staff on the ward fail to pass information on to s/s when a patient is showing signs of improvement ?
Am i missing something.....
Also i was wondering...
if a person has been diagnosed with vascular dimentia how do they go from sleeping all the time to wandering, confused and agressive to calm, settled and being able to have a "sort of" normal conversation
well i say normal....
uncle tom was talking well... but he was in the past all the time. But he could remember things i had forgotton about.
Does something or someone trigger the agressive streak or is it just part and parcel of the illness.
Do people without chest infections have exactly the same symptoms or is the rapid change due to infections.
I have been on various websites and wish i hadnt bothered.. all conflicting info signs & symptoms etc......
Sorry to sound thick.
