Thank you for your kind words. My wife's biggest issue at this point centers around her extreme tiredness. She would sleep 24 hours a day if it were not for me encouraging her to get up and do some things. Her cognitive issues do not prevent her from doing lots of things but her energy level makes it hard for her to get going. This "safer at home" era has not worked in our favor. She was quite active until our current situation. We love music performances and have been active in religious activities. Those have been curtailed. We do spend time no watching virtual religious services, but instead of having to get dressed, go out, go to services, and then perhaps have a bite to eat, we now watch for an hour and are done. She really benefits from social interaction, but that just isn't happening very much now. This too shall pass, or at least we do hope so. Thanks for taking the time to respond to my post.

If she wants to sleep, I suggest you allow her to do so. Mom's doctor said that rest from the bleeds is the best medicine there is. Only when she is better, should she be encouraged to strengthen her brain (read, games, etc). When Mom would have her bleeds, I would bring her to my house and she slept on the bed in my office nearly all day (getting up for bathroom and nourishment only). It would usually take 3-5 days before she would be interested in being up a few hours at a time. Your wife needs her rest more than anything right now. She will get better.
