My mother is 87 and has a UTI, and is being treated for it in a hospital. She has become very angry, hallucinates, and has decreased mobility in her entire body. She can no longer walk because of weakness. I believe these symptoms are caused by the UTI, but how long does it take to fully recover? Thanks for any help you can provide.

From now on you do that test on mom every time you see her.
She might recover in a week or two, but you stay on top of things. From now on, you ask about meds, look at test results, ask the nurse for an update, see the MD when he is coming around. There is no such thing as a dumb question. When you ask, they actually read the reports a second time, and sometimes that averts a disaster.
