Seriously! One week later, hospice says she is not far enough along for their services. And it's true. She was no longer bed & wheelchair bound. She was walking to the bathroom, albeit, with her walker - but I had put that thing away because she was never going to need it again. She was sitting at the kitchen table for meals. All that. Age knew who I was - instead of thinking I was her deceased sister. I could go on. But, suffice it to say -- my brother and I were wondering if she was doing all the "bad off" stuff to get attention - but he hospice coming in scared her.
She is feeling horrible right now, physically, because of her continuous uti. But, her mind is "ok."
Could she have faked it? Or does this happen with Alzheimer's?
Your family member may have been "scared by hospice" into getting better, but UTI's have all kinds of weird effects in folks.
I see from your profile that your Mom is only 77 years old, that's pretty young by today's standards. What are Mom's medical issues? Sounds like some memory problems but not enough to have called in Hospice.
This one is a mystery, so take it day by day.
