Dealing with a Spouse with a “Mild Cognitive Impairment”

Take it easy on yourself. You're in a rough spot and you need to pace yourself for the long run. Start slowly with whichever new endeavor appeals to you the most. Then, if you lose interest, try another one. These new ideas are for YOU. If you're going to be there for yourself and your spouse, you have to do what you can to keep your spirit and your body strong.

You bring up a good point. I just feel so good after my bass guitar lesson. Such lovely music playing when I enter & leave the music institute which is so up lifting. I do find I have problems dedicating time to practice between lessons like I did as a kid. I don’t have the stamina I had back then, but enjoy the lift I get from the lesson. My instructor has been great with working with me within my limitations.
