Has any research been done on the lasting effects of Covid on Alzheimers?
My husband who is at a moderate stage of Alzheimers tested positive on Tuesday. By Thursday morning, after speaking to 111, an ambulance was called as he had lost the thought process needed to get back in the bed. He ended up sitting on the floor unable to move anywhere.
The delirium caused by Covid made him incontinent, very restless, trying to get out of bed and unable to follow the simplest instruction. I was with him for 2 days in A&E until a bed was found and accompanied him to the ward. Then next morning unsurprisingly I tested positive.
Today, from what I have gathered speaking to the doctor on the phone, he is showing signs of improvement . It is very difficult seperated to be able to gauge how much improvement and what the next steps now need to be. Will he return home in the next few days at the same stage he was say a fortnight ago? Will extra care provision, so far I have been the sole provider, need to be found? Do others have experience of a similar scenario?
