"in the mist of" (possible new eggcorn)

[Laurence Horn]

from a contributor to a cancer survivors and caretakers support group:

"well, in the mist of all of this with [name of spouse with cancer] I
had fell and hit my head..."

Whether this was a typo for "in the midst of" or a reanalysis isn't
entirely knowable.  But since the "all of this" in the context refers
to the murky complexity of misdiagnoses, denial of coverage, etc.
etc., I suspect the "mist" is in fact a reanalysis/eggcorn.  (This is
the same writer who previously contributed "biospy" for "biopsy".)
