Memory Care Day 1

Today I took my DH to MC. Such a hard decision to make and a hard, hard thing to actually do. The staff was wonderfully welcoming, giving him big hugs, making him feel valued. I got an update this afternoon that he was doing well, had a good lunch, checked out every inch of the place, walked the path outside, enjoyed listening to some piano music. The monthly family night is happening now with an Oktoberfest party (I chose to stay away for a couple of days). I hope he’ll have a good night. 🤞
As for me, tears of course for the first few hours, felt very strange being in an empty house. Then I visited a friend and sat in a lounge chair and had a REAL conversation without interruption. I called my sister and had a nice long talk. I’m feeling a little bit at peace right now. That will probably only last until I go to bed alone. 😞
