A member asked:
My uncle just had a catorid surgery and after that he needs 24 hour supervision he can't even remember any of us?

Time: I am sorry to hear this. The hospital and physicians are likely checking for any complications from the surgery in this period of time and many, when admitted to the hospital and post surgery, have delirium which can cause confusion and memory issues. This does improve but always frightening for family.
