Fritz, check the thread about Holly in the Hot Topics section. Starsong received an email from Holly which she posted to share with us. I think it's note #133, . There's a lot of discussion in that thread.
I haven't heard from her yet today. No idea if she has any help at home, I certainly hope so. She did mention a community nurse, which I gather is some sort of visiting nurse. I don't know how often those visits are. I have no idea where her daughter lives. I know she was with her for a day or two after the accident, but had to get back to work. It's frustrating living so far away from someone I consider a good friend, but unable to visit or help her.
She did say something about the stronger pain killers they were (finally) giving her not being that great, but they did make her sleep a lot. That may be the reason I haven't heard from her today.
