Just an update:

My friend's accident was right at the start of the month. Shortly after my last posting I heard that she'd had a stroke. Apparently attributed to the auto accident. Her husband stopped over at our common coffee stop a few days ago with her after several days of therapy. Her mind is okay, her hearing is still impaired, now she has some lateral motion issues. I'm not going to turn this into a medical thread other than related to music. I had already passed your helpful advice to her, for which much gratitude!
