Saw my father last night first time in 6 months. He had the vax in April (Pfizer). He’s 80 yo, but was in good health and had the health of a 70yo previously.

Well, first I noticed, he seemed about 10 years older now. Much slower, elderly and frail. A shuffling gait and just… slower all around. Someone who doesn’t know him might not notice, but having known him my whole life, it is a dramatic difference.

We went out to a restaurant that we had been to MANY times over the years. This is the most disturbing part- an item on the menu, Prime Rib, that I have witnessed him order many times at this restaurant; he acted surprised, as if it was a new item on the menu, as if it was the first time he’d seen it.

This is extremely bothersome to me. This restaurant is KNOWN to our family for the prime rib, and we had it so many times over many years…
