That's a tough one, Ron. The problem with developing a solution is that the habit of thinking she can do it is a long-ingrained one. Even though she recognizes it as a problem she may not respond in time. Maybe the best thing would be for her to have a frank talk with her doctor and have him or her arm her with concrete facts.

It's a lot easier to say NO when you can quote an expert on what the long-term consequences could be.

In the meantime, I do hope her neck heals quickly with no further damage done.
