[AGL] about Pepi Plowman

[Michael Eisenstadt]

There is no question that it is often a matter of luck. But it is also 
true that the process can be helped with the support of the right person 
or persons. Here's an example of a weird inexpliquable happy outcome. My 
brother-in-law Louis came down with Parkinson's. He had a bit of money 
and the expectation of a bit more coming his way. My niece-in-law, who 
loved her uncle, found a miracle lawyer who specialized in getting 
people onto Medicaid who made it happen with a bunch of paperwork. Louis 
"gave" his estate to his wife living in the Midwest somewhere and was 
therefore destitute. And he got Medicaid and was moved to the best 
retirement home in Central Texas in Wimberly, Deer Creek Nursing Home, 
where he lived in a pleasant ambiance with a caring staff for a number 
of years recently dying of his disease. The moral that I take from this 
anecdote is that Pepi needs assisted living and can be helped in getting 
it to happen if the right people get involved. That's why I am writing 
this email. Someone knows somebody.

A lot of what happens can be influenced by blind luck. I enjoyed a 
decade of downtown highrise living at RBJ Tower just because I was at 
the right place at the right time. No rhyme or reason involved. Sorry to 
hear about Pepe.
Best,
Frances

I learn that Pepi Plowman was hit by a car, was hospitalized and is now
in rehab.

How come Pepi doesn't qualify for an Austin assisted-living apartment? A 
friend of mine, Phyllis K. has one and she worked all her life. Cissy 
Alex had one. You might say she worked hard at her trade yet she never 
had a legal job in her whole life (RIP). How did she manage that?
