Not Sure..: Any disorientation or confusion after minor surgery is short-lived and should resolve over 24-48 hours. Otherwise, it is imperative that you speak with your surgeon and anesthesiologist.

Mom confused: Confusion after general anesthesia is not uncommon in elderly patients. The changes can be short lived or last for days. Much depends on previous history of dementia or alzheimer's. Also, sedatives given before surgery or pain medicines given after can cause confusion. Dexamethasome can cause confusion as well. Be aware that uncontrolled pain can cause some elderly patients to be confused.

Depends: If her surgery was recently , this is ok. It depends on that if she has this condition still several days after the surgery, or not.
