Hello:
For your own sanity and self-preservation you simply must take time for you.
My husband did not enjoy his first experience at respite care. The owner suggested I bring him more often so he gets used to being there and feels more comfortable.
Yes, your husband will be confused and wonder where you are at. You mentioned something may happen to him while you're away? Well, find a place where you know he'll be safe, cannot leave on his own, has activities and companionship.
My husband called me three times the first time I dropped him off, once the second time, and hopefully zero times the next time he's there.
You must do this for you so you don't fall apart or have a breakdown, then you'd be useless to him.
Recharge your batteries so you're better able to deal with the constant attending to needs.
Good luck! 🌼

@judimahoney If we decide or when we go the phone won’t be an issue since he can not remember how to use his, most of the time it is dead. More than anything what I need is someone he knows who could stop in and say high. People offer help but never give you their phone number. 😂 I find that Hilarious. Thank you for your response I’m not sure at what stage he is right now to leave him?
We were at the doctors today it was pouring down with rain so I said wait for me and i would get the car as I pulled out another car was trying to park so he ran towards it and tried to open their door. I can’t imagine how they felt? As I write this I am smiling and wonder what will be next? Also he doesn’t wear his glasses either he said it was the same color car as ours.
