Strange night - sometime in the middle of the night Bill started talking in his sleep and pounding the bed. Then he sat up on the edge of the bed - like he does when he is making a night potty run. Only he continued to sit there, talking, and moving his arms around and then bringing the sheet up to his face. He did this for some time, not replying to me at all. Finally laid back down and went to sleep. Then later, he did make a potty run but when he came back once again he was sitting on the edge of the bed. I could only see his back but he seemed to be acting strangely but would not talk and asked me to leave him alone. After about a half hour or so he got up, dressed and went to watch TV.
I followed him. Discovered he couldn't work the remote at all and didn't have his hearing aids in (4:30am) - so I fixed him up. He still didn't want to talk. Later he said he had thought he was dying - but couldn't tell me why he thought that or if he was having pains or anything.
He enjoyed breakfast (waffles) and is watching his movies and seems perfectly fine. Like the night time episodes never happened. Not sure if related to his dementia or his CKD or something else altogether.
Has anyone else had something like this happen? All I seemed to be able to do for him was to watch him in case he suddenly needed or wanted my help. Long night.
