I think it’s the hat.  But could be wrong.  If so, google hallucinations.

Isn't it Charles Bonnet (BO-nay)?

Nick -

I don't know about this syndrome by name (Charles Bonnet), but am familiar with "sundowner's syndrome", having "walked two old men to their graves over a decade (each) with Alzheimer's" and observing their agitation (better and/or worse) as the quality of light shifts just before/after sundown.   I am also acutely aware, myself, of the experience of twilight reducing visual acuity to the point that I am irritated and mildly confused because I think I *should* be able to distinguish various things (writing, diagrams, threaded fasteners, etc.) and I am unable to.  

I have known people who had slow developing cataracts who felt a profound loss of cognitive ability from the creeping loss of vision which they didn't appreciate until they had cataract surgery and the majority of the loss (vison and by correlation their sense of cognitive inhibition?)

I am, for one, waiting with bated brethe to know if you are in fact suffering/recovering from something and whether you have reason to believe (up to and including testing) it to be the "evil COVID"!   And again, by correlation, if there is anything anyone here can do to help (except maybe not write you long missives and expect you to read and respond?)

[NST===>tx I would instantly ping this list if I got a symptom that seemed to confound the Dr.  <===nst]

Do you know about Charles Barret syndrome [Quod Googlet}. It is caused by declining vision but can become dramatic when we spend a lot time in dimly lit rooms.  Gives a new angle on what we mean by exerience

thanks for checking in with "proof of life". ..

 

know that we are all pulling/praying/meditating/hoping for you to have both a smooth recovery and perhaps some meaningful fever-dreams while you are at it.
