Saturday’s update from Alan Wade
Good news! Lucia phoned me last night and talked for twenty minutes. She is trying to put back together in her mind work events prior to the accident. Because bathing and hair washing are so difficult, her hairdresser came to the house yesterday and cut her hair short. This she sent me a long e-mail responding to an article I sent her, regarding local police being armed with automatic rifles. Her focus is clearly on work-related issues. She has a number of mostly in-home appointments for various therapies. She seems to be getting energy and confidence back, but needs all of both for healing at this time and so , still, no visitors. Good folks have been coming to the door and leaving food and other gifts. Thanks for all of this, but please leave a note with your gifts so that dishes, etc., can be returned.
Lucia and her brother Doug
I think I recall seeing a picture of Doug holding Lucia when she was a baby…he’s looking down at her cuddled into his chest?
