Yeah, my mother just called, well "just" is a bit of an over-exaggeration; it was 2 hours ago. She said Granny had improved and Grandpa was feeling better. She didn't mention the pills though.
Ya know, or you don't since I'm going to tell you right now, it said something in my Chem book about dehydration causing mental troubles! Did you ever see Granny drink anything other than coffee when we went over? Small things such as hypothermia can cause mental defects as well. There was this story in the same Chem book about an 80 year old woman, who was completely on the ball, all of a sudden becoming lethargic and confused in the library. The doctors thought she had a stroke, because she fell into a kind of light coma, but a nurse realized that her body temperature was low. Old people have less blood and can't shiver for some reason so they can have a hypothermic attack in a 20 degree warm house. Seeing as Granny has quite a few "heat" reserves I sort of doubt that this would happen to her. Maybe it really was all down to not enough drinking? That would be fantastic since she wouldn't need any more pills!
Apparently I'm quite a pessimistic person. Dunno whether it's true or not. Maybe, maybe not...
Better do Chem, I'll post more later after my moom calls this evening. The nurse said she'd send a social service person around! Uh oh, hope Gramps stays cool...
