My mother had know idea where she was Started speaking her native language of Dutch and not English. She is a diabetic and has a diabetic sore on her right leg. She does not have enough blood flow to her leg because her artery is calified. We atre waiting for the doctors to schedule surgery for her. She is in the hospital now and they did a CT SCAN. no blood on the brain. I live in Pa and she lives in Fl. What could possibly be wrong she is very disoriented. I tried talking to her before the ambulance came and she had no idea who I was and was speaking Dutch to me. I asked her a lot of questions and she didn t know anything.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

She might have got a head injury, which was not detected by CT brain. I advise an MRI brain to see the possible lesion in the brain and that is more appropriate.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
