How can COVID worsen dementia?

[MarkFL]

Most of you do not know me. I was the coder admin at MHB. I come here to applaud @anemone she rocks.

 

[MarkFL]

Ads? Lol.

 

[MarkFL]

Oops I got logged out. Back to @anemone . She called me her dearest moderator at another site. Then she introduced me to MHB. I worked hard and she rode my talent.

 

[MarkFL]

I made her an an admin, and coded features for her pleasure. We were quite the item.

 

[MarkFL]

Love you girl!

Welcome back @MarkFL! Good to see ya! @anemone and @Euge are still doing POTW. Stick around would ya!?

 

[MarkFL]

Hey Greg! Why is anemone's title not MHB Ambassador like the other former admins there?

Not trying to raise a stink, but, she was extremely dedicated. Just wondering.

 

[MarkFL]

Sorry to see the Desmos and TikZ add-ons did not make it. They were works of perfection.

We do really use titles here at PF, so it was overlooked.

Only about 4-5 MHB members are now regulars so we don't have the critical mass to carry them over and we haven't seen the demand at PF.

Personally, I would love TikZ here! (It's such a pain to have to make the pdf in order to post it. I know, I'm a whiner.)

I guess I meant usergroup rather than title. No biggie,.as an Aspie it's the kind of thing that sticks out like a sore thumb.

As for the add-ons, I totally get it. So much work went into them, and very few, even the staff, were using them.

Thanks for listening.

So ya gonna stick around?

So ya gonna stick around?

Yes. I do not have the time for online activities I once did, as I am depended on to care for my mother with severe dementia, and I am the core of a family business helping the impoverished in rural Florida, but I will stick around. Thanks for asking, Greg.

I am so sorry to hear about your mother. My father in law has advanced dementia and it’s very difficult. Glad she has you there for her!

Yes. Her short term memory is utterly destroyed. So, it is the same things over and over. I am a man of little patience for repetition, so it has been very difficult. Luckily, I now have help. My mother was such a smart person, and it hurts to see her reduced to confusion. I worry about my own fate...I have nothing but a sharp mind going for me, and if I lose that, I would not wish to live.

I sympathize. My Dad had a case of dementia, which was advanced, but not awful. (By that I mean he was still mainly himself but with a lousy memory. I hated it because he was aware enough to know it.) He got COVID. One of not well known side effects is that it can enhance dementia. When he got home he wasn't there anymore.
