See doctor again...: 92 years old is old. When a 92 year old gets weak or confused, the cause can be anything and also any combination of things. At 92, weakness and confusion can be signs of infection (such as uti), pneumonia, heart attack, medication changes, medication side effects, dementia changes, cancer, strokes, etc... That's why the primary care or geriatric doctor will do a thorough evaluation.
