<div dir="ltr">Thank you very much for this. It's now years (perhaps 13) since I was part of the Sunday Community - moved to St. Catharines and now Montreal. But I remember Lee very well.She and her husband (forgive my missing his name - it will come when I have mailed this!) were a formidable pair, in a good sense. They had rich life experience, viewpoints well defended, a zest for inserting a realistic point of fact if it was going to help a discussion, or a community. Fine and unusual people, forming part of a core of others in this group of unorthodox intelligent believers.<div><br></div><div>I wish Lee and you, her family, an ongoing healing and recovery. Such a tough fall - so much damage. Bravo to Lee and her supporters for moving beyond such severe injury to wanting to move forward, in strength and hope. I hope she has lots of visitors and correspondence to help her through any days that are just plain boring. Get well soon, Lee.

She suffered serious injuries to her left leg, right arm, and head. Through heroic efforts of the trauma, orthopedic and plastic surgery teams at St. Michael's Hospital, and her innate Wolverine-like healing powers, Lee's leg was saved and now is ready for rehab. Similarly for her arm, though the injuries were not as serious. The head trauma and acquired brain injury that came with it is the current subject of active recovery, even as physiotherapy is helping her leg and arm grow stronger and more mobile. </span></p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><br></span></p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">She moved from St. Mike's to St. Joe's hospital after the trauma was healed stably.

Every day, words come easier, memories come back, awareness grows. It is good and sometimes painful.

It bodes well for rehab, where she will be given even more opportunities for hard work and recovery. </span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">But while she is chilling at the RCC, waiting for her turn, please come visit!
