My Grandma has been taken to hospital for six weeks for an assessment. She has settled in (surprisingly) well, and although she mentions 'home' she never gets angry or demands to go home, and she doesn't particularly try to leave the ward.
The only thing is that she has not been eating. She doesn't say there is anything wrong with the food (and they have tried to ake her things she likes) but she just says she's not hungry and she's eaten already.
Mum and Granddad have tried to take in things she specifically likes that they have prepared at home, but again she eats a tiny bit and then says she's full.
This was never a problem until she went into the hospital.
Would they do a physical exam if she carries on not eating? Could this be the way she is showing her displeasure at being in the hospital?
