you Linda it was very depressing in a NH I hated it.
I spent 2 1/2 yrs in a NH and decided to move back home and my father didn't
want me to because he was scared I couldn't make it.
Although I'm not alone all the time I'm alone the majority of time.
I told my father I had to try at least and worst thing that could happen was
I'd end up going back so I had nothing to lose but everything to gain and 5 yrs
later life is pretty damn good!
My best move also Linda and I work with a non profit org that helped me move
out I've been on the board of directors for 5 yrs now.
It feels great to give back to the people that helped save me.

Larry, I lived in a Nursing Home for 5-1/2yrs. & hated every minute of it.
I got very depressed. Wheelchair would come by to see me & give all the Quad
news. He kept asking me what I was doing there, to get out. Finally I got a
power chair, then a computer. I joined Partners in Policymaking & learned so
much, then found the avenue out of the Nursing Home, Hallelujah!
It was the best move that I ever made!!! I figured if I didn't try it on my
own, I would never know. I love living alone & things have worked pretty well
for me. The one problem I have is nite time, I loose my mouthstick & I get too
hot. Other than that, I get along just fine! I moved out of the NH in 99'.
