Thanks for telling us your story. It sounds like the three of you have a good “go forward” plan.
Exact experience I had when I got covid early on (pre-vaccine). That brain fog was the strangest thing I’ve ever experienced.
>Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a neurological disorder whose key defining characteristic is a temporary but almost total disruption of short-term memory with a range of problems accessing older memories. A person in a state of TGA exhibits no other signs of impaired cognitive functioning but recalls only the last few moments of consciousness, as well as possibly a few deeply encoded facts of the individual’s past, such as their childhood, family, or home perhaps
>Both TGA and anterograde amnesia deal with disruptions of short-term memory. However, a TGA episode generally lasts no more than 2 to 8 hours before the patient returns to normal with the ability to form new memories. A patient with anterograde amnesia may not be able to form new memories indefinitely

My dad had an episode years ago. Was very scary. He looked at his phone and saw “wife” in the contacts. Called my mom and said. Help.
