Reply With QuoteRobert , I just read this thread, I hope your friend can pull through this with a full recovery. I hear and see so much of this stuff going on and when it close to our own homes the hurt is hard to deal with.
Addicted to solder....
Prayers for the best possible outcome to this tragic situation.

Robert, any good news on this girl's condition?
Oranges and lemons, say the bells of St. Clements...
Yes, thanks for asking. A little while ago, I went to see her at her home. She was moved from Vancouver to Edmonton a few months ago. She started doing better so they transferred her to a smaller city, where they now work on rehab. She gets to come home on weekends.
Her leg and knee is problematic, and she just recently learned to walk again. There's a lot of re-learning for her.
I am so glad she is back with us, but she is also so much different of course. Her memory doesn't work like it used to, because of the head trauma she received.
Her jaw may need redoing - she has pain and the doctors think it will get worse. A lot of dental work need to be done too.
She was always such a happy personality, and she still is. She smiles a lot!
She has a long road of recovery, both emotional, physical and mental, ahead of her, and her dreams of university studies will likely have to change. That makes me sad, but I keep thinking "she survived and is with us" - that's the most important thing of all.
Her website is at http://kristalena.ca and thanks for all the support, everyone.

Thanks for the update, and best wishes for progress in therapy.
Does she have, or had an interest in making music?
I am thinking about it, as I tool around with my new ukelele, and it may be the right instrument here, compact, easy "starter" chords, etc.

poodles, she used to play piano. I don't think she is able to anymore.

Thank you for the update Robert. And thanks for asking Tig! It is wonderful to hear she still has some of her sunny disposition. Hopefully, she can recover to live an enjoyable life, even if it will not be the same as it might have been before her injury.
