I Am Placing My Husband Of 48 Years In An AL For 6 Days- My Much Needed Rest. Any Ideas On What And When To Tell Him?
A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

He is still angry about not driving or riding his dirt bike. Last year he had a horrible accident in the woods, and he still believes he can do everything he used to do. He comes to work with me as the family business was his before I bought out his partner and sold the shares to our Son, which has been at business 15 years anyway. There are so many pieces here and the bottom line is I am going out of town and he cannot be alone.... Any ideas?

A myALZteam Member

You're so right Steve. Unless you have a trusted person to stay with your loved one it's stressful either way.
