Anyone Else Have Mild Dementia?

I didn’t know where else to put this note.
Back in May a person by the name of Carolee answered my post, and believe it or not, I just read it. I had been writing about mini strokes and she had some questions.
I find myself frequently having difficulty keeping up with my life. My son and wife visited tonight and he was trying to help me wade through 1000 + emails on my phone. Well I’m down to about 14 emails and Carolee’s was one he left.
I feel very bad about not seeing her email and therefore not answering it. I tried to answer her post but a message said something about the link not being valid or words to that effect.
I don’t know if you have a way of passing this on to her, if you do, thank you.
We had a busy summer, my husband had surgery on his big toe, the recovery process was slow, he got an infection in it, back in the hospital for IV antibiotics, then he was having pain in his left shoulder and right rib cage, X-rays showed two blood clots in his lungs and fragments elsewhere, so he was back in the hospital for a few days where they also discovered he had A-fib, so after wearing a heart monitor for 2-3 weeks which was negative, they still said he needed to be on Eliquis for the rest of his life—expensive stuff!
So that’s partly to blame for my missing her email.
Wishing you all well Emyliander.

Hi Emylainder,
I received your post. A whole lot has happened to your husband since May. I hope for your continued support from your son and his wife. And for the best for your husband's health.
On 9/9/22, after a hard rain, we were told to evacuate from our apartment. The Fire Department was there and we only had a few moments to gather up some things and our pet bird to go to a motel. Two days ago, I was able to get my laptop and deleted 1,790 e-mails. We call every few days and they tell us when to call next. We are still taking it day by day in the motel room. Thank you for your update. It is good to touch bases with you.

Welcome back @emyliander. I found the discussion where you and @carolee are connected and were chatting and moved your post to the discussion here:

I'm sure Carolee will see your message and pickup the thread again.
Actually, sometimes taking a while to respond can have its benefits. This post can be a spark to reanimate this discussion with you, Carolee, @artscaping and @centre. As September slowly finds it way into October, I wonder how everyone is doing moving into Fall and preparing for Winter?
