Almost everyone who is friend or family of Bill will have seen his post on Facebook, but for the few who aren't on FB, here is the scoop in Bill's words: (and if you don't know Grateful Dead, 'Phil' is Phil Lesh, original founding member of The Grateful Dead)
"A rare and different opportunity presented itself last night: After the
show, Jill brought Phil over to say hi, and he asked what was up with
the wheelchair. When I told him what happened, he asked whether we would
be at the other shows this week. Since we were due to go home today, I
told him we had considered it, but couldn't get tickets for those highly
sought-after dates. He excused himself and came back with another
fellow, who he introduced as his business manager and said he would put
us on the guest list. So the guy took our names, and when we got back
to the hotel (after a terrible cab ride), we extended our hotel
reservation and changed our plane tickets back home, so now we're all
set for Phil's birthday shows!"
As for continued advancements in walking: Bill is (rightfully) proud in texting often to say how much he has walked from the room to the cab, or from the cab into the restaurant, or standing 15 to 30 minutes at a time. "It's really adding up!"
