How would you cheer this person up?

[Mully]

wanna tell me how she's gonna sail with no arms?

Carefully, would be my guess.

FOCUS: I think everyone has it about right. DVDs, audio books and the like.

Or think of ways to skin the twit who pushed her.

Probably not basketball though. Or juggling.

(Sorry, couldn't resist)

kitten + laserlights = unending fun.

+1 on that idea.

[RantyDave]

Find the little f**k who pushed her and kneecap them.

Good. Wasn't just me thinking that.

Can she hold her hands together? Like, given something about the size of a small book can she hold it for quite a while? Nintendo DS. With Mario Karts. Kicks arse and my 6 year old owns at it.

maybe you could get her some device so she can use the computer ? there must be some interface thing made for disabled people that will get her using the computer/Internet again.

Having a disability where my hands were fairly useless for over 12 weeks .. the thing you can use is voice activated software ... not easy but cool! She should be going to school as soon as she can to continue that e.g. couch is not a good place to stay... and also participating in stuff - the casts will only be on for so long .. then it is the challenge of slowly extending the use for the next period.

Kids are more resilient than we know. I spent nearly fours years flat on my back 'caged' in. Long story, but believe me it'll be a bit of an arse for all but she will cope.
