She was well on the road to recovery and she was wholly determined to return home as soon as possible—then something changed. What followed was as confusing to me as it was to her. She forgot what day it was or who had just visited her. She lost her appetite and her motivation to do the exercises that were helping her heal. 　　I turned to doctors in search of answers, but no one could explain these changes.

State of Confusion that I finally found a disease that seemed to fit: hospital-acquired delirium（HAD 医院获得性精神错乱）. 　　Every year, thousands of patients leave Canadian hospitals with HAD. The causes of the condition arent fully understood but are believed to be partly because of poor nutrition, disturbed sleep and the use of some devices which can cause injury. It can happen to anyone, anywhere. Theres the 87-year- old woman who broke her hip and then forgot why she was in the hospital; another elderly woman who started seeing waterfalls coming from the ceiling after being admitted. 　　HAD was first identified in the 1960s, but symptoms in todays patients are still mistaken for everyday signs of aging. HAD may look like dementia（痴呆）, but it is a serious confused state, while dementia is a condition characterized by memory loss. Most importantly, HAD is usually caused by something related to the outside of ones body—which means it could, in theory, be prevented. 　　… 　　I hope my mothers story provides guidance for readers who have experienced similar situations, and that its knowledge helps protect patients during their hospital stays.
