after this event, I quite watching TV, cleaned up my suite
and refreshed most of the Math I have studied from library texts
this was the beginning of my return to sensibilities On March 7 Kim was significantly confused, disoriented in all 3 spheres, calling almost everyone by his daughters first name.
Prior to his admission he had been behaving somewhat unusually and having hypomanic symptoms for approximately 1 month.
There was no known trigger for this.
His thoughts were disorganized and he had difficulty expressing himself.
He was treated empirically with antibiotics for a presumed infection, although subsequently blood and urine cultures did not detect any
bacterial infection.
The working diagnosis is an acute delirium on top of an organic brain syndrome which is chronic in nature.
His sensorium cleared over the course of a week.
He has been quite goal-directed and able to explain his care needs in a clear and logical fashion, as well as explaining when he is having
difficulties why the difficulties don't exist at the care facility.
