I think if you go back and watch episode 362 of "The life & Times of NKOTB" you will note that it was mentioned that she cycled everywhere on an "old bike".
Re: I think she has long COVID
I hope she gets well soon, and I hope the two of you can handle this together.
As you said, the two of you have a few serious problems to solve together.

shit happens< but one thing , do NOT tell her not to contact her family, Blood is thicker than a marriage license an your going to pull her in 2> as she will be trying to do what you tell her vs her pull to her family.
Be supportive, if she is really bi polar, its going to be an ongoing situation.

Definitely not diagnosed as "triggered by Cambodia".

Re: I think she has long COVID
It reminds me of something else. There was a regular staff member/hostess as a bar I used to frequent on Street 130. She worked there for a number of years, she was always friendly to me, though I didn't really know her well or spend any time with her in or out of the bar.John Bingham wrote: ↑Mon Aug 14, 2023 12:16 am It reminds me of all these mass faintings in factories and schools. Melodrama.
One time I saw her and say to the proprietor "Wow, she looks good, she's lost weight."
Then a week or so later I realized "Ohh, she's lost too much weight."
The proprietor explained that she had been sick, wasn't eating much, was afraid to go to the doctor, etc.
We tried to get her to get proper medical treatment, gave her the money to do that, she then gave the money to her family for something before getting it back, she ended up going to a couple of clinics/hospitals, then her mental state supposedly deteriorated, her family wanted her to go to a Khmer witch doctor, and long story short she was dead within a few weeks.
I wish I had done more. These situations where local women are starving themselves to death with a psychiatric overlay are not to be trifled with.
It's interesting that NKOTB's wife's brain scan shows an anomaly, i wonder what's up with that.

Re: I think she has long COVID
I wouldn’t read too much into what he writes, on first reading. He has a habit of grabbing the ends of a conversation or passage, and missing the detail in the middle, and for using words interchangeably and thus out of context.BaltimoreJack wrote: ↑Mon Aug 14, 2023 10:04 am It's interesting that NKOTB's wife's brain scan shows an anomaly, i wonder what's up with that.
Abnormal might simply mean anomaly, and vice versa. Hence the follow up MRI. And WHEN the expert compares the images to get a better understanding, then they will have that better understanding. I’m sensing a leaning towards hypochondria, and referring that onto his other half.
The same happens with many MRI and CT scans.
There’s the CT scan, a colour contrast CT scan, and the MRI (and probably a number of others in between, along with X-Rays) What might appear as a mass in an MRI might just be a development of denser tissue, a cluster of blood vessels, or scar tissue from a forgotten event. Having endured 5 years of follow-up MRI and contrast-CT scans, and asking lots of questions, the answer comes back- most often, only one scan is required. Sometimes, an alternate scan is required to clarify, or to monitor how a condition develops.

Re: I think she has long COVID
She has a brain tumor. Now scrambling to get a brain surgeon and make arrangements.
Then getting a emergency PTO.
Then getting funds.
About a million things to do.
Meanwhile missus is turning into a pile of jello.
