A phrase you'll all learn to dread as you, or a loved one ages, is "New Normal". I've had a few of them, the most recent involves a virtual fishbowl that used to be my good (right) eye. In a month or two, I hope to get back to my old "new normal" of just dealing with Long Covid and/or?? just being stuck inside too long.
There is a perceptual shift, much like those of new parents, who suddenly notice things that were previously invisible, that comes from these changes. I try to be attentive to those changes in others near and dear to me.
