[quote=Anonymous]My mom just had surgery. She had aphasia prior to surgery causing some difficulty in her finding her words but was otherwise independent. Since surgery she is almost completely incoherent and unable to communicate. She’s also argumentative (imagine being yelled at by someone who only speaks gibberish). It’s like she went from almost fully functioning to almost incapable of taking care of herself or even really being there. I’m absolutely terrified at this point and I don’t know what to do. They want to move her to a rehab place but I don’t know if the rehab place has the capability to handle her. Has anyone dealt with anything similar? Hospital staff says this could be due to anesthesia/ different environment/ pain meds but it’s so crazy how she is right now and I’m so scared this is going to be her new normal.[/quote]
