In response to "my friend the anaesthesiologist says it usually gets better, but the older the patient is, the higher the chance there's permanent damage. -- nm" by mafic

She's 75-ish? Hallucinations etc have lasted the last few days, the surgery was exactly a week ago. Blurgh.

She's being transferred to the psych ward tomorrow. She was there a few years ago after other hallucinations (which we thought were brought on by detox after being taken off of morphine after a 30-ish year prescription, UGH) but anesthesia wasn't involved then.

So it could be a combo of anesthesia and whatever painkillers she was on post-surgery last week, I guess.
