My grandma is literally insane -- and thank god she's in IP right now. It's breaking my heart though
The hospital nurses had to put restraints on her the second night she was there because she wouldn't stop wandering and trying to break into other people's rooms. She kept pounding on their doors and yelling "GET OUT OF MY F_CKING HOUSE, OR I WILL HIT YOU." And she also fell head first and got a black eye, so the restraints were for her own safety. She didn't sleep for two nights in a row, but then got 12 hours of sleep the third day (which is awesome). However, when it came to doing therapeutic coloring 2 days ago, she kept trying to stab people with crayons. (I don't know the reason.) They restrained her once again. But after that, she got 2.75 hours of sleep last night (according to the doctors) and was yelling *trigger* "RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE" when the doctors tried to restrain her again after she was threatening other people in IP. "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE, YOU B_TCH. I'M GOING TO F_CKING KILL YOU." She's not like this at home. I think she just feels threatened because she's confused and doesn't know why she keeps getting restrained. She's obviously confusing the hospital with her own house, but she knows that our house is our house. She knows it's not her house. That's why she's not so aggressive at home here.

I'm sorry, that must be so hard. Hopefully they will find a way to stabilize her soon.

(((((((((Bluebicycle)))))))) It's too bad they haven't figured out something to calm her.
 I know a lot of meds are different/contraindicated for the elderly, so I suppose they have fewer to select from. But still... I hope they figure out something soon.

Blue, my heart goes out to you, to your Grandmother and to your family.
 I am very sorry you all must go through this. I hope the doc(s) will figure out a med approach which will give your grandmother some peace of mind. This must be just terrorizing for her. You are a wonderful, caring granddaughter, Blue. Please remember to take care of yourself during this very difficult time.  (((((( Blue and Grandmother )))))) Much Love to you and yours. WC

I worked in rehab and nursing homes it’s so sad to see how terrified and confused people become. I hope that the doctors can find a way for medication to help sooth her and find some peace.
Please take care of yourself in all this
