This is new. My mother now has suffered a delusion, I think. Whilst in the hospital, she questioned the nurse who came to give her a anti-blood clotting injection. She has heart failure. I was not there, but she told me that she questioned this person as to who gave him the authorization to give her this and he left. This is not like her at all. She never gave medical personnel a hard time.
THEN, she said that she believe she was "drugged" by someone (she says she is not clear on this) and that it was for some sinister reason (could not give me the reason) and that this definitely happened and she is NOT crazy She has since come home and has been agitated and upset ever since. These two contradictory statements in one short talk have me frightened.
Here is my question. Have any of you had this experience with the one you care for and how do you respond to their fears and agitation?
Thank you.
