Summary
A person with long COVID described significant cognitive symptoms: trouble finding words, losing the thread of a sentence mid-thought, and a blank where the thought had been. The cognitive problems improved over time, but memory trouble remained, including repeating stories and forgetting friends' life events and names. They were scared of what their cognitive health would look like years ahead.
