@chris20 I’m so happy to hear that you have some previous connections to the Senior Center and Alzheimer’s office! That should make things easier. Are Springfield and Lincoln a distance away?
I suggest that you go through these discussions and see what questions others have asked. Then, make a list so you don’t forget anything when you get there. Lists are always good. The question you asked this group will be a good starter question.
What will your wife do while you are gone? Does it work when/if she goes with you? Or does she understand what is being said?
You are doing the right thing for both of you. You need (and deserve) some free time and she needs to get used to your absence.
Have you made any plans for how to handle a long absence? Like your illness or breaking a leg?
