Emily couldn't remember how to carry out everyday tasks.
Transcript
I guess the other thing I should mention is the brain fog. Because that was really affecting me at work as well and at home too. I was struggling to string a sentence together and struggling to remember how to do simple tasks that I could always do, like starting a barbecue. I was trying to make hamburgers and I walked to the barbecue, back and forth from the kitchen to the barbecue three or four times. And I couldn’t remember, when I got to the barbecue I couldn’t remember how to start it. And then I’d go back to the kitchen, I couldn’t remember why I wasn’t starting the barbecue. And so there were a lot of things like that that was really kind of frightening to be honest.
