He gets crazy from narcotics.

Years ago, he had 12 teeth removed and had them replaced with fixed bridges. He was in an accident that broke them off.

After taking 2 doses of narcotics, he was outside at 4am with his radio dancing, blood dripping out of his mouth. The neighbors came over and persuaded him to go to bed. The next day, he had no recollection, and he got no more narcotics. He hasn't had them since and I've been expecting this.

My grandfather got really confused from a bladder infection.
