That is similar to my late father who died from Alzheimers... He ended up with pneumonia and was taken into hospital. There is a special wing for geriatrics with dementia as for obvious reasons there needs to be control over access . Anyway my dad who fought and was briefly taken prisoner in Burma before escaping got together with two others and tried to escape from their "POW camp". They distracted the guards (nurses) stole a key (really just a magnet) and managed to get about twenty yards before all hell broke loose.. His mind started working backwards in 2001 and this was in 2007.. he died in 2009 with no recollection of his 90 years although we are trying to get the letters he sent back home published as they are incredibly detailed and offer a fantastic insight to WW2..

Many of the patients there were in very sad shape and couldn't take care of themselves. Some were walking the halls using their strollers but most were in wheelchairs or confined to their rooms. One Jewish woman stopped me and grabbed my arm. She said the Nazis were holding her against her will. Please contact someone to come and get her out of there. Apparently her mind ended in 1942. (She may have right about being held in captivity, though. These places don't let anyone out unless accompanied by a legal guardian which this woman didn't have. All her relatives had either died or abandoned her.) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Kixmoeller (ProFox)" <foxh...@information-architecture.com> To: "ProFox Email List" <profox@leafe.com> Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2011 1:08 PM Subject: Re: [OT] - Male Fairy Story >> ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "Pete Theisen" <petethei...@verizon.net> > > On Thu, Oct 27, 2011 at 11:19 AM, Nicholas Geti <ng...@optonline.net> > wrote: >> You must be living in an area that houses people needing professional >> care. > > Um, it goes without saying...
