[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like she's already getting better. My mom had hip surgery in her mid-80s and no delirium. About six years later, at 91, she had heart surgery and was under anesthesia for weeks. She came out of it okay (a bit confused and she was seeing what we thought was floaters)- and within a day or two, she had delirium and didn't even recognize me. We took her home and she slowly got better. That was a year ago and I think there is a decrease in her working memory but she is probably way within normal. The one thing she's still confused about was her actual hospital stay. She does not recall me or my siblings being there and yet one of us was with her every day in the hospital, from morning until leaving time. [/quote]
