Hi CJ
What a tragic story, I am so sorry for your loss. Do you know if your father was given any sedatives before or after the surgery? These can sometimes cause confusion, forgetfulness and depression. I would think he would be given some medication for pain relief, and possibly something to help him sleep while he was recovering? It's possible that the decline in his mental state was a reaction to some of the medication he was given after the surgery. I remember you posting here for answers last year. I hope you find some clues to help put your mind at rest.
