🙃 I went *one day* without Someone-Is-Wrong-on-the-Internet-ing it. FFS.
But I popped on because have a question for you folks. A friend was in a terrible accident. Cane sugar processing machine caught her arm. She didn't lose it, but it's bad, and she's quite poor. She's been recovering at home.
Tomorrow I'm visiting with the biggest bag of rice I can carry, & panela & powdered milk. But for folks who've been laid up, is there a comfort item (medical, cosmetic) that made a difference for you?
@MLClark Books always help me the most. Theyre the best distraction for me.
Beautiful! This person has low literacy, but I wholeheartedly agree that reading is a gift. :)
@MLClark Maybe some movies, then? Distraction is the most important thing, in my experience.
@MLClark Disregard. I just saw your other reply and now realize that won't work, either.
But something distracting, if possible. Even just sitting and telling stories could help a lot. Keep her mind off of it.
She is a very religious lady, so in her case a few material prayer items might not be out of the question! Good thought on keeping her distracted, thank you!
@MLClark A lot of recovery is just a waiting game. The time is going to pass either way, but it's easier to get through it if you're thinking about something other than how bad you feel and all the things you can't do
