Hi peegee
My mum was in hospital for 3 months following a routine op, while in there she was diagnosed with AD and Now VD. We thought that she would never come home she was not eating, double incontinent, trouble walking and aggressive. she has been home with live in carers for 2 months and she is eating, walking, calm and using a commode. She is back almost to how she was before she went to hospital, she has got back into her routine and the carers have had to do what she wants. I thought I would not hear her laugh again but she is. I don't know the medical reason for it but I think its because she is in her home where she feels safe and loved where all her memories are.
I hope all goes well for you.
