Hi there,
My partner was recently admitted to hospital with acute confusion. 9 days later he came home, still very confused. He sees things that are not there, talks to people who are not here, gets up in the night and wanders around the house, thinks he is still at work but he is retired. Makes a cup of tea without a tea bag, puts milk in a cupboard, salt and pepper in the fridge, asks how many people are staying for dinner when it is only the two of us in the house. Continually gets his wallet or paperwork out and goes through it over and over again. He gets agitated and aggressive which is so out of character. I could go on and on. I even started to keep a diary as I thought it might help with a diagnosis. It is very distressing for both of us. He cannot understand why he is so confused and gets very upset.
More recently he is forgetting who I am.
The GP has done some tests but as yet all Ive been told is that it could be dementia.
I'm sorry if I appear to be rambling on but it's good to get it out of my system.
