I realise that I left some key facts out.

He's in hospital still and on his 6th ward of his 4week tour of KCH Camberwell, he had been out in a general ward but is back in a separate room due his rantings and raving. Much of which involves liberal use of the f and c words, I can't help thinking the ward changes are because he's upset the staff.

'cos I wasn't factual enough...

He's 79, had an emergency operation because he had an aneurysm in the aorta that has divided, possibly suffered a minor strike during op, got sepsis and now has shingles.

Social worker says he will be in through to end of October and possibly beyond.

Best answer though was the one about promotion to prem and 6 months of delirium.

Advice from those medically trained by Pendejo 9 Oct 2021 21:53
Just want some independent general advice.

How long can "delirium" last?

My elderly uncle had life saving surgery 4 weeks ago, he has good physical signals, heart, bp etc.

But has not been in this millennium since, from what I can piece together from his rantings he's reliving something/s from his teens (thinking along lines of "Marabou Storm Nightmares" but without being a rapist)

And is it wrong of me to "play along"?

Hope all turns out well soon. Hope it is a UTI and quickly sorted.

Oh dear, I’m sorry to hear that. I hope things improve soon for him. Being moved to and from a ward to a separate room? I know all about that from my mum’s story in your other thread. It’s probably more to do with upsetting the other patients, than the staff. The staff are pretty used to dealing with this sort of thing - they have my ultimate respect for doing so. I couldn’t.

My understanding is that any sort of operation can induce shock which can manifest itself in the elderly with delirium - there are far more qualified people than me to comment on this, but that was what I was told.

Yep, here’s hoping he comes through this with better health and ITFC heading for promotion with a decent team!

My wife’s Grandmother had the same operation a few years back. She had delirium for 2-3 months, no UTI, not clear what the cause was. One day it just disappeared and she was back to her normal self. Most odd. Hope he gets back to his old self soon!
