Diagnosed 1/29/19. She had been having trouble staying focused on tasks since mid December. After my surgery for a fractured knee cap I had asked her to tie my shoelaces. She tied one and left to do something else. It’s funny now, but I thought, what the heck. Blew through a stop sign. Trying to separate coffee filters,when there’s only one. Lots of little things that only a husband would notice. We went to the ER after she had tingling in her arms, weakness in her legs and she tried talking but nothing came out. CT scan and MRI showed a 3 cm x 5 cm area of bleeding in right frontal lobe. Going back in 2 weeks for follow up MRI and neurologist appointment

Hi, @bortner - that is a very recent diagnosis. Sounds like you have been very sensitive to what has been going on with your wife, noting these little things that indicate confusion. The tingling arms, leg weakness and trouble talking would definitely be worrisome. Good that you were there to take her to the ER for assessment.
I'd also like to introduce you to @jakedduck1 and @jenniferhunter. @gbiffart also has some similarities to your story about your wife's condition, so hoping he might return to talk with you and offer support.
How are you and your wife feeling about this diagnosis? How is she doing this last week or so?
