My aunt had a subarachnoid haemorrhage 5 weeks ago. She was previous in excellent health, although had started becoming obsessive about about money.
The haemorrhage has left her incontintent and her memory is affected. The geriatrician she is under requested an ACEiii which she scored 75 on.
The occupational therapist keeps telling her and my family this is a “perfect” score for someone in her position. They all believe that.
I know it’s not, and I have also read the integrated care pathway for early stage/mild cognitive function. I think almost certainly she will be referred to psychiatry. While I think this support will be good in the long run, she has a POA in favour of two lawyers she has never met. One has since retired to Canada.
The whole thing is a mess and my family have called me “nuts” for getting stressed.
As much as I would like up help I have three children under 8 and a full time job and a part time job.
I would like to know if anyone has seen an improvement in cognative function or is it likely to reduce further?
