Only what, 32 more months....

Art it sounds like you're making some very thoughtful and proactive adjustments to your retirement plan in light of H's health and the recent changes at work.
Retiring from your current job and shifting to part-time work in a less stressful environment could provide the balance you're seeking while still allowing you to maintain financial stability.
32 more months might feel like a long time now, but breaking it down into manageable steps can make the process feel more achievable. We can only ever handle one day at a time. You’re clearly taking control of your future, and it’ll all come together when the time is right.
On a side note perhaps you could consider working with a financial advisor ?
Since you’re also thinking of part-time work, maybe you could try to find something you’re passionate about as well that would bring you joy. You always loved swimming.
