Joe,
I just can't imagine Bill "enjoying himself" in a nursing facility ? ? ? it just doesn't sound like him. (Unless he is chasing the nurses around)
In the more recent years, Bill seemed to really have an aversion to being around people. I tried many times to talk him into coming to the party, even going as far as to arrange a ride for him.
I do surely miss him on the air! He was a good one for "stirring the pot" and the WFDN just isn't the same without him. He was also usually one of the ones responsible for instigating the evening break-in sessions on 3.885. I can still hear him saying "this group is getting kinda big, why don't we go break-in" And then all hell would break loose!
But........ Glad to hear that he is doing well and happy! ! !
In a nursing facility, privacy doesn't exist. Kinda like being in a horsepistol. I know that when I was stuck in the horsepistol, dignity doesn't exist either and you just try to get through it. I know many times when I was stuck in the horsepistol I just ended up walking up and down the hall with the BA's just swingin in the breeze. No one even seemed to care one way or the other. They had made mention of placing me into a nursing facility to recuperate further, I just flatly refused and told Carol that if she signed for it that our marriage was over when I got out, and I was dead serious! ! I had been through enough in the hospital and would be more than happy to recuperate at home. So, I just can't imagine anyone enjoying their stay in one of those places. It broke my heart to pieces having to put my mother into one. (she has altzheimers and dimentia)
