My father 75 years old has lived in Spain for 20 with his partner, they are both residents.
4 days ago he started being very dilisional. Thinking people are in the house and out to get him, wondering off.
She got him to the hospital, he was there 2 nights, had tests and scans.
His brain scan showed he has had 3 strokes, 1 we knew of 15 years ago.
All tests said he was ok, suposidly a psychiatric nurse see him and said he is ok, he had wondered off at the hospital and thought they were out to get him.
No one has mentioned alheimers or dementia.
Returned home, he wondered off in 34c heat and was found a few hours later slumped over.
At home he has been crawling on the floor trying to pick pattern off the carpet, accusing his partner or all sorts, thinks people are in the house.
She went to local doctor with notes and Spainish friend to help, the doctor checked notes and said he was ok from notes. he wasnt there as he wouldnt go.
He doesnt want to go to hospital or Doctors.
Today he seemed a bit better and held a conversation with me on the phone.
Tonight his partner called in tears as he is wondering around, saying the house is surrounded by soldiers and accusing her of all sorts or awful things. She hasnt been able to sleep in days
My sister is speaking to british consulate for help right now. (we both live in UK). They hae said they will contact her tomorrow morning.
Any help would be very helpful, thank you.
