Hi All-
My Dad had aortic replacement and a bypass on Thursday. He seemed to be doing fairly well on Friday. His kidneys need extra help and they are giving him dialysis. Now today he seemed confused about events, like thinking he was going home today, thinking he had changed rooms when he hadn't and not remembering that he ate breakfast. He also seemed paranoid - thinking the dialysis machine was not sanitary and that the doctors were in on delaying a news conference. He just seemed off - not himself.
We mentioned it to the nurses who said that it can happen and didn't seem too concerned, but just wanted to see if anybody else has had similar experiences or has any input.
Thanks!
Mel
