This past Tuesday night I landed in ER with severe agitation, confusion & pain. I don't remember where the pain was to tell you the truth.
My niece, almost nephew, & kt took me in ~ my temp was a bit high (105), I couldn't move my neck all the way & immediately I was taken to isolation. Spinal taps, MRIs, cat scans - phew/whew no encephalitis or meningitis.
Turns out a raging bladder/kidney infection along with pneumonia can turn you into a raving lunatic. kt's been telling anyone who will listen that I'm "not in my right mind"; not true I live mostly there but she won't believe me.
Spent the night in hospital with IV fluids & morphine drips going; sent home with mega doses of antibiotics. Today I can say that I feel almost human again.
So if you're agitated & confused (not difficult child related) make sure you don't have a raging bladder infection.
