Marni: I will be thinking of you and your FIL as I jog today. I hope he bounces back.
Marni, I thought of you and your FIL while on the trainer this morning. It is a bit too cold for me today since I've not yet worked out the cold feet problem. I hope things improve for him.
Marni - have they checked his calcium levels? High levels can cause confusion and delusions. It happened to my Dad.
Spinning a wheel for FIL
My normally very lucid grandmother became paranoid and delusional while in the hospital with a heart problem. She totally snapped out of it once she was home again.
However, given your FIL's age, you may have to prepare for the worst. No one lives forever, and for a man to make it to 90 is something to be thankful for. I hope for the best for him, but you never know at that age.

Unfortunately, this kind of situation (or any kind of stress) can hasten dementia, so be prepared
Thinking of you, Marni, and if I get out tomorrow I'll spin some shiny new wheels for you and your FiL. My elderly FiL had a very rough time in hospital, but did get back to normal when he came home again afterwards. I think hospital can be a huge change to get used to, especially for one as independent, fit and able as he is.
Look after yourself too, I hope you can get to the gym or out for a ride soon. Hugs from across the pond.
