Your doctors should be able to tell you. Could be what they gave her to put her to sleep during the operation. Blood clots or strokes. Also have heard they don't want to wake up. Or they are keeping her druged

i pulled all the narcotics from my mom...and wheel her outside everyday....also have them pull blood gasses. We just went thru a snoozy stage, and it ended up being Co2 posioning!!

you know your mom...don't let them give you excuses...check medical first and then go advocate for her.
