My late Unreal Brother (not to be confused with my Real Brother who is still living) passed away from Lewy Body Dementia, suffering for over three years with it. It didn’t have much meaning to me until the day we were talking on the phone and he said, “Who did you say you are?” It broke my heart.
I was relieved when he passed, but not any more than those who had to care for him. He’s free, now, and has his mind back.
I’m not sure what kind of dementia he has... but we did notice this, very soon after he got his two covid ‘shots’ his cognitive decline plunged...
some of the older folks in our area (they are in their late 80s or early 90s) all got real scared of covid and couldn’t wait to get the ‘shots’ and did. They didn’t listen to the rest of us... and we have seen a marked decline in all of them on the cognitive front from before they got jabbed... very sad to watch...
thankfully my M-I-L was suspicious and did not get any... she still has her faculties...
I hope that's not how it works. I'm hoping for a much better one.
