Bladder/kidney infection

My mother used to suffer frequent UTIs towards the end of her life. She would be completely doo-lally until the anti-biotics kicked in. We got to know the signs and would get a urine sample to her GP's surgery PDQ. The sooner the treatment starts the better.

Any infection can have this effect.

WB?

Agree with Grannylyn, aslo worked in a cares center and UTI's do cause confusion etc. and as she says it clears up quickly.

That's interesting! explains a lot.

Won't last x

Thanks Granny. That was a quick response! He is getting so frustrated because he knows his memory is shot at the moment. A thought is in his head at one moment and gone the next.

Working with 'older' people for many years I can state categorically that 'UTI's' can have drastic effects. It is first port of call when someone is more confused than usual, it's temporary!
