Nursing home is transporting mom to hospital, they said she was not herself this morning, possible stroke. Any experience with this?

Good to hear but she is 86

GERIP, Thanks for letting us know! Glad is wasn't a stroke.

Something like this happened to my mother-in-while she was in rehab. Her blood pressure was also dangerously high. Ended up being low sodium and UTI. She was in the hospital for about a week.

Each stroke is different. Much depends on where in her brain the stroke occurred, how quickly she receives treatment etc.

Hospital stays all depend on diagnosis. It could be a UTI. It could be a small stroke. You really need to talk to the doctor in charge of her care.

We can’t tell you how long she will be in the hospital. Only the doctors can give you an estimate.

Is there a reason that you can't go to the hospital yourself to advocate for her?
