Hi everyone.
My grandmother (91 years old) had a fall and broke her hip. On the first day after surgery, she was mentally doing great—she was totally with us, energetically explaining exactly how the fall happened, etc. It got to the point where we were joking at home that she felt "refreshed." She’s always been a very lucid, wise, and intuitive woman, though as people get older, they tend to drift off a bit into deep thoughts about the past (like she’s doing a full life review, wondering if 🙂 ). If she missed a connection in conversation, it was basically just because her hearing is a bit weak (even on the first day post-op, she "heard" something wrong while the nurses were talking)...
However, by the third day after surgery, she started having some strange ideas... she woke up convinced that someone she knew had passed away and that she had somehow received a liter of blood, among other things...
Today (the fourth day), my family says she was completely nonsensical, spinning made-up and disconnected scenarios.

I know postoperative delirium is a side effect in elderly patients, I know she's quite advanced in age, and I know there are cases where this becomes permanent and practically leads to death, but what I don't understand—how could she be so sharp for two days only to suddenly go off the rails today?

I'd be so grateful for any insight. I tried searching the depths of the internet, but the articles are all so vague, and the professional papers are packed with dense medical jargon that is totally foreign to me since I work in a technical field.🙂

I’ve always had straight hair. Thick, strong strands, really dense, though it does react to humidity. It gets a little wavy at the ends, but overall—straight. Then, about four years ago, my hair suddenly decided it wanted to be curly. Like, seriously curly. A total phenomenon. And then, just two years ago, it made the incredible decision to go back to being straight again.
Nobody understands it, and I certainly don't 😁
To make things even weirder, the hair was all curly right when I was seeing this guy who specifically loved curly hair... subconscious? I don't really buy into that, but still, it's wild.
By the way, I know a girl whose hair actually curled up because of the stress she went through while studying for the Bar exam.
Again, it feels too crazy. Because I just don't get it—how does hair just decide to change texture?

Don't waste your money. Honestly, I don't think the router is the problem—it’s more likely an issue with AT&T. I've gone through plenty of D-Link models, spent a decent amount of cash $233, and they still drop the connection constantly (if you really want the specifics, it happens every 1h28min46-67s 😁). The service provider is just unreliable, and since I live out in the middle of nowhere, I'm stuck with their ADSL or nothing at all.

Jeans have always been a staple for me, and now I think I’m officially obsessed. I’ve got these Gas jeans, size 29, but they stretched out so much they’re basically unwearable. I tried the 28s too, but they were cutting into my hips so hard I almost lost it. They were $217 absolute trash. Then there are those other pairs—honestly, a single pair of Miss Sixty jeans is worth ten of the others. I picked them up about two years ago; they were $200 and easily the best denim I’ve ever owned. But now I’ve hit a wall. Does anyone know if you can still find them in stores around Seattle? It feels like all the shops are constantly moving or closing down lately. I really need to go hunting, but honestly, the thought of searching, trying things on, and dealing with these insane prices is exhausting. My budget is strictly $650; I am absolutely not paying more than that for jeans, no way... especially after getting burned by those Gas ones...
