Bill Cosby’s Low-Key 88th: A Grumpy Guru’s Take on Health and Home Life
Oh, splendid. Bill Cosby’s about to hit 88, and guess what? He’s still perfecting the art of laying low in his suburban retreat. I don’t *want* to break it down for you, but since no one else will, here’s a reluctant peek at his health updates and domestic scene as he inches closer to another candle-lit milestone.
Cosby’s days start before dawn, thanks to a disciplined bedside nurse cracking open his pill organizer. Word from People Magazine is he’s dealing with lingering diabetes and high blood pressure—thrilling stuff, I know—while relying on light physical therapy to keep the tremors at bay. Doctors reportedly moved him from a cane to a walker earlier this year after that fall in late winter, though his rep insists he’s “making significant strides.” I told you so: gravity always wins.
In true hermit fashion, Cosby’s mornings blend herbal tea with crossword puzzles—because nothing says celebrity comeback like filling in “Ego” and “Nose” in 15 Across. His wife, Camille, still handles most of the day-to-day logistics, from screening visits to selecting meals vetted by his cardiologist. Apparently, she’s weighed in on everything from low-sodium soups to ergonomic chairs, per a recent Page Six interview. Spoiler: no ramen on this menu.
Afternoons are reserved for reflection and occasional Zoom calls with old comedy buddies who “miss Bert”—their pet name for his classic character. Radar Online spotted a brief phone chat with a fellow comic in March, though no one’s planning a big tour anytime soon. His people say stand-up might be too taxing, and frankly, I can’t imagine audiences scrambling for another “Cosby Show” revival.
Evening routines involve low-volume jazz records—Miles Davis or Ella Fitzgerald—topped with a few pages of memoirs he’s allegedly drafting. No publishing date confirmed, because why rush a project nobody asked for? When night falls, the lights go out by nine, ensuring our hero gets his beauty sleep. At least that’s the official line.
So there you have it: high-stakes medication schedules, crossword marathons, and zero public appearances since last year’s charity livestream. Not exactly front-page fireworks, but hey, maintenance is a form of performance, right? As for what happens when the camera’s off, let’s just say I’d bookmark this story if I were you. And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things.
