My mom keeps misunderstanding things and saying someone said or did something they did not; she is on a pretty high level pain med, so that's probably it for her - is your mom on anything?

I wish someone could give you the answer, since my sister who recently suffered a stroke and ahs been in the hospital many times has been displaying the same symptoms. We also check for UTI and that was ruled out. She thinking I want to kill her with poison, kill everyone in the hospital, taking away her husband she hates me one minute and the next she is sorry. She does however have a liver disease by which she needs to keep her ammonia levels down and is diabetic so there area lot of ongoing issues but the hallucinations, aggression. So what you said rings so true to what her husband and I are gong thru. I wish the very best for you

Whatever meds this person is taking have manifested themselves into very bad hallucinagenic thoughts. Seek out why she is acting like this by taking her to a doctor.

It could be the meds, but more likely is that she's got dementia and/or " just" psychosis. In any event, she needs to be seen by a doctor, hope you have access to a qualified psychiatrist to sort out the source of her symptoms and disordered thinking.

My 94 year old mother believes the has been implanted with a device that can cause her pain when "they" want to inflict pain, typically at night. She also believes this implant is a listening device so she often puts a pillow over her abdomen when talking. Full set of labs, xrays, CT scans and nothing. She maintains it's real, doctor has diagnosed her with delusions however she is not aware of that diagnosis otherwise she would be furious. When she starts talking about it, I try to redirect the conversation, per the doctors suggestion.

Mental illness, most likely. That's sad, to be so old and also psychotic, though dementia isn't much better.

Now, my mother had good old fashioned Lewy Body dementia which accounted for her delusions. She was seen by a neurologist, of course, and that is what he diagnosed. It came on about 2 years earlier, she called and said her grandson was there visiting, just before a holiday. I thought it was odd he was in town and didn't let anyone know, but it was possible he decided to fly in....then she called again and said her grandson just 'left without saying goodbye or anything'. Just disappeared. There one minute, gone the next. And so I thought, oh-oh.....A couple of years later, there were 'people in the house' and all kinds of 'visitors' and my brother 'had a home office right there in her house' - he could only go in through the fireplace, but he was behind that wall working away, typing and sending faxes. My father was 'sneaking in and out of the house at night and taking food out of the refrigerator' but refused to talk to her! Oy!

A friend of mine was diagnosed as having dementia with delusions. She was talking to the TV, thought she was being recruited for public service and was convinced she talked to the President who wanted her to send money. The doctor put her on some specific drugs for hallucinations and she is doing much better.
