I feel for you,hon! lol<br>Once, a while ago, my mom was admitted to the hopsital and that evening she started acting very strange..she was 77 at the time...she pulled out er i.v.'s more than once, talked crazy things...etc. The nurses there called it "sundowner's" syndrom or such! Said that elderly patients tend to get it when admitted....all I know is that I was sure glad when she got over it!<br>hugs,<br>CarleneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774676666559926705.post-58775431020634410762006-04-21T23:01:00.000-04:002006-04-21T23:01:00.000-04:00I just ran across your journal.

I am completely terrified by the way! I do have some experience with psych patients. I worked in long term care for a couple of years. More than half of them had dementia. I had one resident who sounded a lot like your patient. Mine talked a hindred miles an hour. If you asked her a question , you better be prepared, because you are going to be there for a while. She had no history of smoking, but yet eventually she had to be put on oxygen. I secretly thought it was because of all of her talking lol! Well good luck with the journal. I hope you don't move it to private, because I wouldn't be able to read it, but thats up to you. Later, Melissa.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
